Re: delete characters right to the cursor with one key

2012-11-16 Thread Eugenia Firth
Hi William.
I finally figured out the answer to the question you asked. It took me a while 
because I couldn't remember what it was under. 

You can change the way VoiceOver handles this. If you go to Verbosity in the 
VoiceOver Utility with Control option f8, you then choose text with the VO 
space. Press tab until you hear Speak text the cursor passes. Press down arrow 
until you hear Speak text to the right of the cursor. This should result in the 
delete command being spoken the way it is in Windows just like you are used to, 
and you can use only the delete key to perform the delete command. 

Regards, 
Gigi

 Hello,
 It should be nice if I could delete also characters right from the cursor 
 like you can do on windows with the delete key.
 Basically on a macbook air you could do it by pressing Fn and  the delete key 
 of the mack
 But I would like to have simply one key for  deleting text right from the 
 cursor.
 Is this possible with any kind of remapping with external programs are 
 internal programs on osx?
 
 kind regards,
 
 William

Yes, you can look through keyremap4macbookpro for options to do this. However, 
I will say that at first I thought I couldn't get along without a forward 
delete key but now I'm so used to doing the back delete that I rarely need the 
forward delete.
