Долгие годы гегемонии Windows на рынке настольных операционных систем у большинства пользователей выработался стойкий иммунитет к освоению новых интерфейсов, устройств и систем управления. В связи с этим, отсутствие даже не самых значительных функций Windows на компьютерах под управлением macOS вызывает определенный дискомфорт.
Ярким примером является отсутствие на клавиатуре Mac (в ноутбуках Apple и клавиатуре Magic Keyboard) клавиши «Delete», которая удаляет текст непосредственно перед курсором, а не позади него, как это делает «Backspace».
Действительно, начинающие пользователи Mac, много работающие с текстовыми редакторами, довольно часто сталкиваются с этой проблемой и даже не подозревают о существовании ее решения. На самом деле, функция удаления текста справа от курсора существует на «маках» — за нее отвечает сочетание клавиш Fn + Backspace.
Как и множество других комбинаций клавиш, Fn + Backspace тяжело использовать одной рукой, поэтому целесообразно переназначить функцию конкретной кнопке на клавиатуре, например, клавише «Включения» – для этого можно воспользоваться специальной утилитой – PowerKey.

How can I emulate the delete key from Windows on the new 2018 Macbook Pro 15″ with Touchbar?
I have recently switched from Windows to a Mac and I am missing the delete key which would delete the character in front of the cursor. I have looked up and it seems as if you need the function keys in order to use them. Since the Touchbar obviously replaced the function keys, I would love to find out how to retain that functionality from Windows.
Thanks a ton!
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID,
macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)

Hold the key in the lower left, labeled [fn] while you press the delete key.
Многие пользователи Windows-PC после перехода на компьютеры Apple страдают от отсутствия привычных клавиш на клавиатуре. Кроме того, сами клавиатурные блоки разных моделей MacBook значительно отличаются. Где-то есть физические «стрелки», на других нет. В старых моделях присутствовал верхний ряд функциональных кнопок, потом его заменил Touch Bar. Привыкнуть к новой раскладке довольно сложно и занимает время. Хотя, если вы уже освоились, то оцените удобство клавиатуры Mac по достоинству. Сегодня же мы расскажем, как найти и воспользоваться некоторыми привычными Виндовс-клавишами.
В самом начале вспомним о том, что кнопку Ctrl на клавиатуре Макбук по умолчанию заменяет Command. Соответственно, привычные Ctrl+C (Ctrl+V) изменятся на Cmd + C (V, Z). Вот еще несколько популярных комбинаций:
-
кнопка Home — ⌘Cmd + стрелка вверх;
-
кнопка End – ⌘Cmd + стрелка вниз;
-
кнопка PageUp — «Пробел»;
-
кнопка PageDown — ⇧Shift + «Пробел».
Клавиша Delete на Mac стирает буквы начиная с конца слова. Чтобы сделать наоборот, достаточно поставить курсор перед словом или символом, которые нужно стереть и нажать кнопки Fn + Delete. В свою очередь, вызвать диспетчер задач (в Windows Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + Esc) можно комбинацией клавиш Option + Command + Escape. Надеемся эти простые советы помогут вам быстрее привыкнуть к «маковской» клавиатуре!
Running Boot Camp on your MacBook or MacBook Pro? I am, and I was very frustrated by the fact there was no way to right-click in Windows XP. There wasn’t even a Delete key on the Mac keyboard, so how are you supposed to do Ctrl+Alt+Delete? The solution is very simple. Read on.
Update: This tip is not quite as useful anymore, as the latest versions of Boot Camp allow delete functionality with Fn+Backspace.
How on Earth are you supposed to run Windows without right-clicking? I don’t even know. Some programs force you to right-click in order to do certain tasks, like closing a program that only hides itself in the notification area when you “close” its window. And a Delete key is almost essential, especially for people typing a lot or programmars. (For Ctrl+Alt+Del, try Ctrl+Shift+Esc.)
Fortunately there is a solution! Keymapping can reassign a key to be a Delete key. There are a few programs to do this, but I found one that can also turn any key into a right-click button! It’s free, and it’s called AutoHotKey.
Instructions
- Download and install AutoHotKey from http://www.autohotkey.com/ (open in new window). (AutoHotKey is extremely powerful, but we’ll keep it simple in this script.)
- Save the file below to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. (Right-click the link and choose
Save Target As…
or something similar.)
Download File: RightClickAndDelete.ahk
; ; AutoHotkey Version: 1.x ; Language: English ; Platform: Win9x/NT ; Author: Alan J Hogan (alanjhogan.com) ; Copyright: None (Public Domain: Share and modify freely) ; ; Script Function: ; Remaps left Windows key to be a right-click button! ; Useful on my MacBookPro. (Of course, it's really a ; cmd/Apple key, but registers as Windows key.) ; Also turns the Enter key to the left of the arrow ; keys into right-click. ; Combine the right Apple/Windows key and that same ; Enter button to Middle-Click! #NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility ; with future AutoHotkey releases. SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to ; its superior speed and reliability. *NumpadEnter::Delete ; Reassigns "Numpad Enter" to Delete *RWin::RButton ; Reassigns the right Windows/Apple Cmd ; button to simulate right-click RWin & NumpadEnter::Send {MButton} ; Holding the right ; Windows/Apple Cmd button and then hitting the same ; Enter key now simulates a middle click
The third-to-last line reassigns the enter button right next to the arrow keys on a MacBook Pro to Delete.
The second-to-last line effectively remaps your right Apple Command / Windows button into a right-click event! It’s conveniently close enough to the trackpad that it’s really not even a pain to use, and IMO even easier than Ctrl+Click in OS X.
The last line uses both buttons to give you a middle-click functionality.
Finally, if you’d rather remap other buttons (such as caps lock or a key combination), please check out this reference on AutoHotKey and their hotkey documentation.
- After you have saved your file, run it. You should now have right-click and delete functionality! Test it by right-clicking somewhere and deleting something. (No! Not that something! An unimportant something!)
- This script will run automatically every time you boot into Windows!
I want to thank the people at AutoHotKey! The programmers deserve credit for making it, as do the folks in the forum, who helped me get started.
If you run into any problems, please let me know.

Mac users who need to get access to the vast number of games and software exclusively available for Windows operating system always install Windows alongside Mac with the help of Boot Camp Assistant software.
Partitioning the Mac OS X hard drive and installing Windows on Mac is relatively simple when you install Windows on Mac with the help of Boot Camp Assistant. Boot Camp Assistant not only help you partition the hard drive to accommodate Windows but also lets you create a bootable USB drive so that you can quickly install and run Windows. Once installed, Boot Camp installs all necessary drivers.
When you install Windows on a Mac using Boot Camp Assistant, all parts of the Mac function well without any issues. While, as you may know, the Command key functions as Windows key and the Option key is used as Alt key while using Windows.
After running Windows on MacBook Pro or MacBook Air machines for a while, users notice that the Delete key doesn’t work with default settings. It’s because the Delete key on the keyboard can only be used as back key and can’t be used to Delete files/folders with default settings. That is, when you select an item and then click the Delete key, Windows doesn’t delete the item.
However, one can right-click on an item and then click Delete option to delete the selected item. Wouldn’t it be cool if it was possible to delete a file or folder right form the keyboard, without having to touch the touchpad?
Well the truth is that the Delete key on MacBook Pro and Air keyboard can be used to delete items while using Windows as well. All you need to do is select file(s) that you wish to move to Recycle Bin and then simultaneously press Function and Delete keys. For instance, to delete a file, you need to first select the file and then press Function and Delete hotkey to delete the file to Recycle Bin.
NOTE: Users with Apple keyboard with numeric keypad, Apple Pro keyboard, and Apple USB & Wireless keyboard don’t need to use the Function + Delete hotkey to delete a file. Pressing the Delete key will move the file to Recycle Bin. The above procedure is required only for MacBook Pro and Air models.
Tip: You can view all keyboard shortcuts for Windows running on Mac by right-clicking on the Boot Camp icon in the system tray on the taskbar and then clicking Boot Camp Help. Navigate to Using Windows on your Mac in the left-pane and then click PC key commands to view all keyboard shortcuts. Enjoy Windows on your Mac!
