A delete key really speeds up text editing, and is not confusing if put next to the "erase" with an arrow on each.
- For what it is worth, Fn-Erase is mapped to delete. --18.85.18.88 17:59, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
keyboard layout
This is the apple laptops keyboard behaviour: fn+backspace = delete, and also fn+up/left/right/down = pgup/home/end/pgdown. This is perfect! It's really great you chose such layout, I think that every sane laptop user who has worked on an apple laptop for more than a while will miss the way it's keyboard works. It's virtually impossible to use pgup/down/home/end FAST on today's laptops where each one of them has slightly differently working keyboard. Apple-go-ISO!
