This Mac 911 article is in response to a question submitted by Macworld reader Mike. On Apple Keyboards, both the forward delete key and the delete. The delete key is a key on most computer keyboards which is typically used to delete either.
Sadly, macOS omits Control-U, which in Terminal shells deletes everything from the insertion point to the start of the line, a useful complement to Control-K. Not to be confused with delete character. Other software is more literal, and deletes only the characters on the same visible line. Some software interprets that as the end of the paragraph (until the next point in the document or email at which you pressed the Return key). A few other nifty deletion helpers (some of these keyboard commands may not work in the software you are using):Īdd the Option key to forward or backward delete (including Fn-Option-⌫), and macOS deletes a word at a time, or when you’re not dealing precisely with words, anything up to the next white space in the direction you’re deleting.Ĭontrol-H and Control-D also substitute for backward and forwards delete, owing a debt to macOS’s Unix underpinnings.Ĭontrol-K, another Unix relative, deletes everything from the insertion point ot the end of the line.
