Hi David: Welcom to Mac!:) I actually haven't run across this question a lot. But, I struggled with the same issue when starting out with the Mac. Now, when I go back to that other system, I'm all thumbs when I have to edit anything. (and I don't mean the thumbs that can text well either.:)
I liked Ray's annalogy. I'd suggest spending a little time with the text edit app just writing and working with your delete/backspace key to make it more familiar to you. This will make more sense in time. It's just a re-learning process.:) One thing that you might find useful is that you can delete to the right of the cursor by using your FN-key with the delete/backspace to do a forward delete. hth On Jun 1, 2011, at 2:22 PM, David Eagle wrote: > Hello, > I'm sure this has been asked on this list loads of times but I must > ask, since I can't find the answer in Google.
