Michael, No. My hands are on the middle row of the keyboard and ctrl-d is the left pinky and middle finger. The delete key is on the bottom row at the right, next to the arrow keys. The former needs no looking or hand position change and is what I use with emacs, joe, lyx, and other applications.

Re: [PLUG] LibreOffice6/Writer: delete character
Need more info; Question: Which GUI / desktop manager / window manager etc *and* flavor *and* version of bsd ..are you using? Outside of LibreOffice and Writer, ie a few levels **up** from the app, you're running bsd after all, and your keyboard driver, usually something like xkeymap or keybd or something like that, is likely (a) configurable, maybe via a GUI, and/or (b) is configurable via a . or "dot config" file. Have you googled key bindings, key mappings, how to create key combination macros, or such? PS. I googled the driver info.. www.freebsd.org ukbd(4) - FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual kbd(4) - FreeBSD - Keyboard input driver kbdcontrol - FreeBSD... Hope these concepts help!

The dialog box for assigning actions to key chords has a fixed list of choices, none of which is 'delete one character' (or it's there but called something else that I don't recognize as deleting a single character.) Does anyone know how to assign 'delete character to right of cursor position' to Ctrl-d?
