The delete key deletes to the left of the cursor, and function-delete deletes to the right. The only difference is in how VoiceOver handles the cursor; it does so in a more accurate way, as I explained in my last message. I don't recommend it, but you can disable this if you really want to. Open the VoiceOver Utility, go to the Verbosity category, choose the Text tab, and set the cursor behavior to "text to the right of the cursor" instead of "text the cursor passes". > On Sep 8, 2015, at 19:01, [email protected] > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Does it mean that I can't change how the delete key works?
