How to Delete from Left to Right on a Mac Laptop Keyboard
In: Tips and Tricks
31 Oct 2006So you’ve just bought your first Mac, and you were used to the DELETE key on Windows or maybe you are a veteran Mac user and you’ve only known how to delete from right to left using the Apple Delete key on your laptop. Well I have the pleasure to announce to you that you can indeed delete from left to right on any Mac computer just like you would do on a Windows-based machine. Let me show you how:
1. On any Mac desktop keyboard there is a DELETE key that you can use to delete from right to left like you would on any Windows machine.
2. Here is the tricky part. How do you do the same thing but this time on an Apple laptop? Simply press Fn + DELETE (function + delete) and you will be able to delete anything now on the left hand side of a word.

The outside of the box said "Windows base machine or better", so I bought a Mac.

This article simply means that there is only one delete key and a mac laptop. The type of delete explained in this post is in second function.
