OT: Unbelievable! So if you want do delete the next character right to the cursor on a Mac, you first have to press cursor-right and then backspace? Indeed I didn't find a better solution when recently having a Mac machine and keyboard in front of me (just to test a Roundcube issue, BTW), but I was honestly thinking that I was just too dumb and not familiar enough with a Mac keyboard. Now you're telling me that I really can't do that because Apple wants to save ... what? Keys, material, money? Or did typical Mac users never realize the benefit of a Del key anyway, so that Apple just capitulated before the majority of their amateurish users? No offense, though, I'm just extremely affected. And I love the haptics of a Mac keyboard (at least of the ones I occasionally worked with), wish that I would have it on my new Dell laptop. Sorry for OT.
