Summary0002189: Delete key doesn't work for text entry on OSX
DescriptionI am playing on a laptop with a limited keyboard, and therefore do not have a backspace key. Pressing the delete key instead yields a character (Delta). I have tried to set the bindings to accept the delete key as a backspace, but it does not work.

However, the delete key will function to remove key bindings.
Steps To ReproduceOn a Mac, try to delete entered text (e.g. Notes) with the 'delete' key.
Additional InformationI would be satisfied if another key (like backslash) could be bound to work as backspace, but that does not work either.

The suggested solution (detailed in report 1909) doesn't work. Sensible permutations on this do not work either.

Edit: I was being dumb. You have to _delete_ the binding to "String: Character 127" (by backspacing it) before it will work. Works fine now.

In v.08, the above workaround is broken. If you delete "String: Character 127", you get peak-spam when you enter text entry.

I can't do the workaround in here...

OS X 10.7.4

Text Entry

String: Character 127

Deleted the "Insert Key +7F" but didn't help.

OS X: 10.9.3
DF Version: 34.11

I found success by deleting String: Character 127 "Insert Key +7F" as suggested plus I changed the repeat setting to "don't repeat"

I'm almost certain this is the same as 0001909 (the backspace key on my keyboard is labeled "delete", which is likely the cause of some confusion), but please reopen this or PM me on the forums if it isn't. If 0001909 describes this problem and isn't fixed, on the other hand, please contact me or another manager to have that report reopened instead.
