Forward delete using Apple keyboard

I am using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5. I am new to this development environment, and previously worked on Windows.

I am wondering what is the backspace key of Mac (i.e. which is used to delete the character previous to current cursor position in text editor)? Windows keyboard has a dedicated backspace key, but I did not find such a key on my MacBook Pro keyboard.

Thanks in advance.

Mac only has a backspace key. It does not have a "delete" key. (You can however, do FN+Backspace and it will do the same thing as a Delete key on windows.

  • It's not really called a backspace on a Mac. See the duplicate questions.

  • @Arjan - Ah yes, but it actually does the same as a backspace May 17, 2010 at 5:41
  • You're right: the question is wrong.

The delete button actually acts as backspace. Pressing Fn + Fel will delete the character ahead.
