Excellent, then it's already fixed. I'm on a laptop with BZR4016 installed, so I could only test in that version.

That worked for me. This was compiled from head. Only difference could be the wxWidgets version ?

In PCBNEW when you press the Delete key, you delete an entire net and when you press the Backspace key you delete the current track segment only. This is really useful funcionality and I would rather reserve a future implementation of those separate functions associated to those two keys in EESCHEMA rather than apply two keys to the same function now. I've also not tested how two keys bound to the same function perform in the Hotkeys Editor - but I suspect not well.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Patch: In eeschema: use unused hotkey 'Backspace' to be equivalent to 'Delete'
Hi Henner, In EESCHEMA, under Preferences->Hotkeys->Edit Hotkeys, you can edit the hotkeys and set Backspace as the Delete function. However, I notice that changing the Delete function hotkey doesn't work. This in fact should be filed as a bug; So please file a bug report on Launchpad so it can be fixed, or else feel free to apply a patch that fixes this bug instead. The best method is to file a bug report on launchpad and issue a patch to fix it at the same time, but at least if there's a bug report someone else can maybe fix it before you get around to it. Thank-you for highlighting the issue. Best Regards, Brian. On 5 February 2014 05:02, Henner Zeller wrote: > Hi, > My notebook has a keyboard that doesn't have a 'Delete' key, only > 'Backspace'.

[Kicad-developers] Patch: In eeschema: use unused hotkey 'Backspace' to be equivalent to 'Delete'
Hi, My notebook has a keyboard that doesn't have a 'Delete' key, only 'Backspace'. This makes deleting objects in eeschema quite cumbersome as this always requires to use the right-mouse button menu. Since 'Backspace' is not bound to anything in eeschema, this patch adds the Backspace key to be equivalent to the Delete key: removing the object under the cursor. View patch here: https://github.com/hzeller/kicad/compare/master...delete-and-backspace-equiv Download patch here: https://github.com/hzeller/kicad/compare/master...delete-and-backspace-equiv.patch Since I am new to this codebase, I am not sure if this is the right way to add another hotkey or if there is better way to get this same functionality. If everything is ok, then I'd be happy to see this added to upstream.
