Is it just me or… I need to use the Function key when I want to delete an object in the macOS Xojo 2025r2.1 IDE ?
A selected button cannot be deleted by pressing the Delete key, but that works fine when I also press the Function Key.
It is a standard behavior since some years (how many ?).
Sometimes (as usual) I forgot and have to redo with the Function Key: boring !
They changed that a long time ago much to the chagrin of people who have been using shortcuts for 30 years.
You have to manually change it back, either in the IDE shortcuts settings, or more reliably the macOS shortcut settings. The third time the IDE lost my changes, I gave up trying Xojo’s way.
On a Mac laptop, there’s a single key to clear (backspace: ⌫), while on standard keyboards, there are two (backspace ⌫ and delete ⌦). On a laptop, you use fn+⌫ to simulate delete ⌦. Xojo doesn’t always work with both.
;):
What you called standard keyboard was named Extended Keyboard (a standard keyboard with a key pad.
Having the key pad was nice when I used MS Word (nearly 45 years ago; but I forgot what shortcuts was nice and what they do.
Thanks guys.
PS: I’ve made a simple search with Google and… both exists:
and an Apple Magic Keyboard:
The one from 2015 have the same look.
To be complete, I had the opportunity to use a QWERTY MacBook, and I loved to have the numbers (1…0) without pressing the shift key (as it is needed in the France Keyboards)…
But time have passed, and my old ability to use a QWERTY or AZERTY falled. In the old times, once I realized “its a QWERTY”, I used it as is. But that day I’ve done many errors typing text (more than usual 
).
Have a nice Sunday.
