- Is it just me that finds not having a delete key aggravating on the keypad?
Sometimes I don't type correctly and I find moving the cursor award as my finger is in the way. Would be nice to have a delete key for when the cursor goes in the wrong spot
Unless of course there is a delete key and I am now going to be very embarrassedOneArseneWenger likes this.06-10-12 10:26 AMLike 1 -
Delete conventionally removes the character in front of the cursor.
In the OSX world (and others) delete functions as I explained backspace above.
The opposite function is called "forward delete".06-10-12 10:41 AMLike 0 -
- That and a tab key. I don't think it will be a problem though as rim is known for its keyboards, so when playbook gets blackberry10 it will have probably the best touchscreen keyboard out hands down.madman0141 likes this.06-10-12 12:52 PMLike 1

- Wow, don't be so grumpy. It makes sense that if PB and OS10 will be on BB's and the PB, that there will be keyboard improvements that will be shared between both devices. No one is looking for a cure all, just a little progress on what a lot of us deem a very good tablet. I, for one, really enjoy the PB as it is. I use it for work, movies, music and browsing and have been very pleased with the performance. I am not app hungry, nor try out every new way to sideload apps to see if they work. What I need, works and I know that is not the case for everyone, so they would like to see some of the new jewels that are being dangled for OS10 also on the playbook. I call it friendly banter and excitement. Maybe, you are the one that should make the change to something more appropriate for you. Just sayin'06-10-12 06:40 PMLike 0

yes you guys are correct i know there is a backspace key but you have to move the cursor in front of that character so you can hit backspace .. there is no "forward delete " as correctly pointed out which is what i was after.
For now i just gave up with that POS keyboard and for any lengthy posts i use my BB keyboard under remote control.09-07-12 08:13 AMLike 0 - Regardless of who says a forward delete feature is not necessary, there are many of us who think it's a good idea and something that I consider a move backward for Blackberry when they got rid of this feature in their new BB10 devices. I switched from a BB Curve to iPhone 4 a couple of years ago. One of the biggest complaints I had with the iPhone 4 keyboard (for me) was the fact that it didn't have a forward delete key. I recently bought a new BB Z10 and was very disappointed to find out that there is no forward delete feature in the Z10 either. Keyboard has always been a strength of BB devices. Why did BB remove the feature, I do not understand!!!!!! I hope they put it back (and soon).04-27-13 10:43 PMLike 0
