Mac Keyboard Differences - delete key - Paul E. Lehmann - 07-30-2018
Mac Keyboard delete key not working as intended
Transitioning to a desktop Mac with a Mac keyboard.
In making a selection with the path tool and with all the prerequisites about alpha channel etc. , when I click the delete key after inverting, nothing happens.
With a non Mac keyboard, everything happens as it should. Is there a special key or combination of keys on a Mac keyboard to get the same results from the delete key as from a non Mac keyboard?
I was pulling my hair out until I put my old keyboard back into operation and everything worked. I think there is also an issue with the "Command Key" on Mac Keyboard doing the function of the "Control" key on a non Mac Keyboard with certain tools.
Perhaps a section of the difference between keyboard usage using Gimp with Mac and Windoze would be helpufl

Not many OSX users around here, I use linux but a search got me straight to
https://shortcutworld.com/GIMP/mac/GIMP_Shortcuts dated last year so not ancient.
I know some keyboards can be a problem, I have a chrome netbook, running linux and some keys just missing (del for example), usually get there with a menu entry.

I found out that in order to "delete" with the Mac that the forward delete key works. The other "delete" key on a Mac keyboard is the delete backwards or backspace key and will not delete in Gimp

It doesn't in Windows or Linux either
