fn delete/forward delete was the issue

I figured out what was so confusing about the delete key issue.bThe icon for delete in the drop down menu is the same as the delete key on the mac, but I just realized that it is pointing to the right, the wrong direction. The delete key on all macs in recent memory all have delete keys pointing left. After going in preferences, I figured out that this had to mean forward delete was the default shortcut, not delete.

Additionally, macs do not have a forward delete key, as we have to press fn + delete to implement forward delete.

I can't assume I am the only one who has been puzzled by this, maybe in a future update you could have the default icon state fn + delete vs. the confusing right-pointing forward delete key that is non-existent in macs.
