I cannot comment on the issue pertaining to alternative characters; however, I see nothing wrong with how the delete key behaves now. I can hear each character being deleted . So, either I do not understand or you are experiencing something different. I surely disliked the split tap method for deleting characters, but worked with it. Now I think delete is so much more natural for me.
