My friend just got a powerbook. He wants the forward delete key that he has on his Dell. Anyone know a solution that you can use an F key or something like that to replace a forward delete key? Thanks.

fn+delete will do it.

a app called ucontrol will do that along with some other cool features. with ucontrol, shift+delete will be mapped to forward delete. works in most programs but for some reason not firefox.
also note that this wont work on office, you have to change the setting in word itself--under tools> customize> keyboard> editclear. then you can enter your own keycombination.

An old unix shortcut key will work: Ctrl + D
