Wireless Keyboard - Need a Delete Key

I've recently bought the Apple Wireless keyboard. Brilliant. But I can't find how to make a delete button.

There is the back space but nothing seems to work with it (alt/ctrl/cmd) for simple delete.

Tried to find a way to programme the keys but haven't worked it out


any suggestions appreciated

Hello:


How old is the KB you purchased?


All Apple keyboards have, for some time, had a delete key (located in the upper right-hand part of the KB).

Hi , I know it's few years to late but have just a iMac and it comes with the compact wireless keyboard so I struggled with this same problem. These posts helped me and I discovered new things.

On my home screen/desktop fn+backspace don't work but command+backspace does.

In apps like Photos both work but command+backspace don't ask questions.

In word processing app like Notes: fn+backspace = Delete

backspace = back 1 space

alt+Backspace = back 1 word

command+backspace= back 1 line


Best is to press all keys and discover new combo's:-)
