Can anyone tell me why blender on a mac won’t delete selected items when I hit the delete key? I’m sure there is a simple stupid reason why… but this feels like a major oversight for a product that has been shipping multiple versions for this platform.
I’m using a notebook so my keyboard keys are limited.
I can’t talk intelligently about why the delete key on your Mac won’t work for you…
but you should be using X to delete stuff anyway…
Hope this helps.
The basic problem is Backspace is labeled as Delete so I have no delete. I’ve used several PC notebooks in the past and they all have a delete key somewhere on them. However, the keyboard layout from the powerbook series up to present day has no delete key.
I guess I’m just a little socked that it didn’t work.
on a powerbook you have to press “fn+delete”
Yup that works… now I only wish there was a button in the UI to do this switch for me in blender =(
oh well…
Supposedly you’ll be able to do that sometime in 2008 (say, blender 2.50).
