Doing F1-k on backspace ("delete" key) gives:
DEL (translated from <backspace>) runs the command
delete-backward-char
And with delete (Fn-"delete") it says:
DEL (translated from <kp-delete>) runs the command
delete-backward-char
So both are mapped to DEL.
You can fix this with
(global-set-key [kp-delete] 'delete-char)
Tested on
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.32)
of 2010-06-21 on black.porkrind.org
Personally, I'm used to C-d, M-d, etc. for forward deleting.
