NSDeleteFunctionKey question

[Andrew Thompson]

On a Mac keyboard the 'delete' key acts like 'backspace' on a PC.

The 'del' key over by the keypad (or fn+delete on a laptop) deletes to the *right* of the cursor. I assume this is the 'delete key on a PC keyboard' you mean?

Ideally I think you want right-delete when this key is pressed.
