Been using Mac now for about a month and still looking for 2 basic shortcuts.
-
Windows equivalent for "Delete" – where it deletes the character in front of the cursor.
Currently, "delete" on my mac acts more as "backspace". Tried ⌘ CommandDbut that just creates bookmark on chrome. -
Word processing text navigation – windows equivalent of ^ Control + Arrow keys to jump between words, separated by spaces.
I'd like to be able to combine this with ^ Control ⇧ Shift + Arrow to select multiple words.
On the Mac, using ^ Control or ⌘ Commandmove entire lines, and ⌘ Command Backspace deletes full lines/sentences.

The first one is Fn⌫ Delete or ^ ControlD for keyboards without an Fn key
As for moving between words, use the ⌥ Option modifier. Example, ⌥ Option➞ to move to the word to the right.
There's an excellent list of all the predefined shortcuts on Apple's Support site.
