- The backspace key works for messages but not contacts and seems redundant
with the delete key - additionally some people use the backspace key for "back" in a browser. I'm not suggesting we support using the backspace key for browser-back, but I am suggesting that we might not want to delete messages if a user presses it intending to go back.
Please keep in mind that Mac keyboards nowadays don't have a delete key anymore and Mac users are used to press the backspace to delete things.
OT:
Unbelievable! So if you want do delete the next character right to the cursor on a Mac, you first have to press cursor-right and then backspace?
Indeed I didn't find a better solution when recently having a Mac machine and keyboard in front of me (just to test a Roundcube issue, BTW), but I was honestly thinking that I was just too dumb and not familiar enough with a Mac keyboard. Now you're telling me that I really can't do that because Apple wants to save ... what? Keys, material, money?
Or did typical Mac users never realize the benefit of a Del key anyway, so that Apple just capitulated before the majority of their amateurish users?
No offense, though, I'm just extremely affected. And I love the haptics of a Mac keyboard (at least of the ones I occasionally worked with), wish that I would have it on my new Dell laptop.
Sorry for OT.
