Backspace is the delete key. If you want the full keyboard with numerical keypad, arrow keys, pages, page down and delete keys you'll need to upgrade to either a third party keyboard or Apples wired keyboard http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad-e nglish-usa?fnode=56

I use the wired USB keyboard and I think it's great, I don't need my keyboard to be wireless.

And the fn (function) key does not delete when used with main delete/backspace key?


There used to be a forward and backward delete key, now on the wireless

and the compact keyboards, there is only one. Unless you can find a hidden

one by using the Keyboard Viewer to expose other key functions as you press.


The keyboard viewer should still be available through the Keyboard system pref

panel; and you can also customize keys to do tasks, type symbols, etc. I prefer

a full-size USB keyboard, too. Even use wired mouse with portable macs.


Hopefully this helps.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
