Setup - Meters: Delete key #957

Closed TrainerRed151 closed 4 years ago

TrainerRed151 commented 4 years ago

The 2017 13in Macbook Pro does not have a dedicated Del button. As such, it is not possible to delete an entry in the Left or Right columns in the Meters menu in Setup.

This is a common issue with Macs, but the usual solution is to hold fn when pressing the delete key.

Pressing delete will delete text in a backwards direction, like a standard <-- Backspace key does. Pressing fn + delete will delete text forward of the cursor, like a standard Del key does.

Sharing because htop was the reason I specifically needed to know this myself. Reference: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201236 Further troubleshooting: https://superuser.com/questions/1425758/fn-delete-on-mac-no-longer-works Also: #607
