Add a shortcut for ‘delete_forward’ on Mac OS
Windows OS keyboard has ‘backspace’(deleteBackward_or_delLeftward) and ‘delete’(deleteForward_or_delRightward). However, MacOS has not deleteForward.
Even though we have fn
+delete
to achieve this, this occupies your TWO hands. Unconvenient.
Here, we use the Karabiner-Elements
app, which is an open-source free app, to patch this issue.
ps: in MacOS, the keyCode 117 means deleteForward_or_delRightward
======= Steps =======
- Install and launch ‘Karabiner-Elements’, which is an open-source free app.
- Add a
complex modifications
as below (I was mapping option+delete into delete_forward):
{
"description": "Option+Delete to keycode 117",
"manipulators": [
{
"from": {
"key_code": "delete_or_backspace",
"modifiers": {
"mandatory": [
"option"
]
}
},
"to": [
{
"key_code": "delete_forward",
"modifiers": []
}
],
"type": "basic"
}
]
}
