Forward delete

My 15" Pro has a Spanish keyboard. The forward delete function consists of holding down the "fn" key and tapping the "delete" key. Is there anyway of setting the machine up to foprward delete using just one key?
Thanks.
Emile

For those looking for a way to use only one key to forward delete on your Pro notebooks, check out Double Command. If you want to try it:
1. Download it
2. It installs itself in the "Other" band of System Preferences
3. Click on it and it will open a bunch of options you can use for various things, including forward delete
4. I chose one of the two option keys as the ne singl-click forward delete key
Hope this helps anyone out there.

My BT keyboard delete button now forward deletes rather than backspacing like it used to do. This happened after I got my iMac back from the hard drive replacement program. Any ideas how to return the keyboard to the default backspace?

The good news after my hard drive was replaced during Apple's Seagate replacement program -- all my data and settings reinstalled seamlessly through Time Machine and my external hard drive. Bad news? My BT keyboard will now only forward delete when I hit the delete key rather than backward delete. I find this so ironic since I hated this feature when I switched from PC to Mac, but now I'm totally used to it. I tried resetting the default under system preferences, but it didn't help. Otherwise, keyboard works perfectly. This is so strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh -- and now I see my arrows don't work either.

How do I get forward delete to work on a PC w/ an Apple Wireless Keyboard?

Hello,
I have successfully connected an Apple Wireless Keyboard to my Toshiba Portege laptop which is running Windows Vista. The keyboard is working fine but my laptop won't recognize the 'fn+delete' command to execute a forward delete. I've searched quite a bit online but I can't figure out how to replicate the forward delete functionality, which I use all the time, with my Apple Wireless Keyboard. Anyone have suggestions or ideas about other key combinations which may work or mapping software I can use on my laptop to get this done? Thanks very much!

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update

My forward delete no longer works when searching or editing on Itunes since installing an update. Anyone else have that problem? Any fixes?

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Shift+Delete = Forward Delete is Driving Me Mad

Is there any way to make Shift+Delete do normal backward-delete instead of forward-delete?
Edit a keyboard layout maybe?

HT1171 How do I forward-delete in Windows using an Apple Wireless Keyboard?

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1171 says that forward-delete maps to but that key doesn't exist on an Apple Wireless Keyboard (as far as I can tell). Anyone know how to achieve this, as well as home, page up, and page down functions?
I've tried https://code.google.com/p/uawks/downloads/detail?name=Install UAWKS 2008.09.17.exe and uxsoft.cz/projects/awk, but these don't support forward-delete, home, page up, or page down.
Thanks!

Fn and delete works for deleting stuff to the right of the cursor, if that's what you mean?

HT1171 forward delete button

where is the forward delete button? I don't have it on my wireless bluetooth keyboard?

On an iPad this function is still one apple is to provide. On your Mac wireless keyboard it is the usual hold down the fn key and the tap the delete key.

Forward Delete Key in Mail

Where does a message go in Mail when one presses the forward delete key? I thought I was pressing "page down," and pressed forward delete by mistake. I thought the message would go to the Trash folder, but apparently not.

open up a terminal (either type in "terminal" in spotlight search (the magnify glass in top right corner) or in the Finder (New Folder Window) Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and enter:
defaults write com.apple.mail IgnoreSortOrderWhenSelectingAfterDelete 1

Quicker Forward delete on a non-Apple (ANSI) keyboard

Could a charitable soul please suggest a script that would assign "Shift Delete" (that does forward delete) to the Print Screen key on my USB non-apple keyboard ?

DoubleCommand offers 20 specific actions, none of which enables using the PrintScreen key for Forward Delete.
The nearest is Backslash (\) acts as Forward Delete (but then I cannot use backlash any more) or Shift Delete acts as Forward Delete (But I can do that already!)
Trying to assign the signal presently sent by Shift Delete to the PrintScreen key looks pretty hopeless. I tried uControl, but it is the same. Is there a way?

Why doesn't my forward delete key work on my apple keyboard with numeric keypad?

I bought a wired apple keyboard with numeric keypad to pair with my Mac Pro (late 2013) and when I try to use the forward delete key, it does nothing. I have even tried to use the fn + delete shortcut and that doesn't work either. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Again, waking up an old thread:
I first used an air compressor, set around 50psi, to "air out" all the ports.
Then I used a clean cloth to dab a bit of alcohol on an SD card's contacts... slid it in and out several times, dabbing a little more alchol each time... and voila!
All of our SD cards now seem to work fine... recognize, read, eject...
Also used alcohol to clean the contacts on all the cards.

I just bought new iPhone 5 - when I try to reply to e-mail my tool bar at bottom with "reply, forward, delete..." is not there! Why? How can I reactivate it?

The shortcuts at the bottom of my emails on my iPhone 4 (to reply, forward, delete, etc) have disappeared. How do I restore these buttons/shortcuts?

I have looked in the iPhone 4 Userguide with no mention of these settings or how to adjust/ replace lost shortcuts.

Hi rracker,
If you are having issues with the buttons in Mail, you may want to force Mail to close, then relaunch. If that does not resolve the issue, you may need to restart/reset your iPhone. You may find the following articles helpful:

Email reply, forward, delete icons have disappeared

Hi,
The icons at the bottom of my emails have disappeared.
So when i go into an email - I cannot reply, forward, delete or add event?
Any ideas?
Wyallah

IF what Mo-BEn suggested doesn't work - close out of the app, double tap the home screen - find the mail app hold down on it until it wiggles and close it.
and then do a reboot.

HT1171 forward delete on windows 7

im using the Mac's wireless keyboard on my PC running windows 7. Which key combinations produce the forward delete?

After reading as many blogs as available I came across one by lesliebarry.com He provided a link to download a program Unofficial Apple Wireless Keyboard Support (UAWKS). This worked! People have to keep in mind that the Apple Wireless keyboard works differently on Apple devices than Windows OS computers. The UAWKS remapped the keyboard to make than similar. Thank you Leslie!
