Finally I have my del key
Still poking around with my brand new mac and I quickly found out that I have no del key. What a bad joke! Hopefully there’s tons of plugins around that can fix that.
DoubleCommand allows to remap your keyboard. A good way to deal with this is to map SHIFT - backspace to the del key. That way, backspace is a backward delete and shift backspace a forward delete. Cool
And if it does not work in your terminal, just read this blog entry to make it work.

errr… apple-backspace is the standard delete combination, no need to remap anything….
:kiki:
Ah
Hey, I asked a half-dozen guys about this and noone was able to tell. If you would be on ICQ more often, I won’t have lost my time.
That’s your fault actually
Anyway, thanks for the tip, apple-backspace sounds good as well.
ex-windows users are like the blondes of the mac users…
HEY. I may be the queen then. I have deactivated doublecommand and all that. Apple-backspace does not act as a forward delete (it does nothing actually).
I tried multiple combinations before searching the net. Greg, do you have a belgian keyboard?
ooops. I meant -backspace, of course :p
Which only exists on laptops, but there’s obviously a delete key on desktop keyboards
yeah yeah right.
quickly now, sell this crap on ebay!
