Cmd + Delete used on some text generally will delete all the characters present in that line before the cursor’s position, however in the Browser search bar it acts similar to Option + Delete (delete “word” before the cursor’s position).
In the browser (Notes mode), the context menu on selected notes says “Delete” and shows the shortcut Cmd + Del. However, when I try the shortcut out on the selected notes, the notes are not deleted.
Ah, I was misunderstanding the symbol. I thought that
this meant delete, it seems it is indeed backspace. I guess I’ll have to resort to using the add-on or configuring my keyboard (for me, backspace is quite inconvenient as I have to hold down the function key).
I’m not a Mac user, but that symbol looks the wrong way round to me. Usually ⌫ is backspace and ⌦ would be delete (“forward backspace”) – with the arrow pointing at the characters that will be deleted.
For Anki in Windows, Delete Note is Ctrl+Del. But if it’s been changed to Cmd+Bkspace in MacOS, does that icon need to be flipped in the menu?
It’s a quirk with Mac I’d say.
This is the delete key (seen on the On-Screen Keyboard)
This is the backspace key (seen on the On-Screen Keyboard)
I think it’s to do with the names, I believe Delete on macOS and Windows refer to the opposite things.
