Why does the combination fn+⌘+delete doesn’t work

deletingkeybindingskeyboard

As a new user of MacOS – coming from the Windows world -, I'm trying to quickly learn how the Delete key works here and what are the possible combinations with other keys.

However, while listed in this article (recent, Oct. 2016): https://medium.com/productivity-freak/macos-keyboard-shortcuts-41c8184f65a6 the combination fn + ⌘ + delete doesn't seem to work. I tested in Notes, as well as Google Chrome (I thought at first it was a bug in Chrome).

I'm using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73) with an AZERTY keyboard (French layout).

I don't know why it gives that shortcut, but try control-k.

⌘+Delete does not work in Firefox

It doesn't work for me either. You can use control-U to delete a complete line, but it also deletes the part on the right side of the caret.

Or if you use KeyRemap4MacBook, add something like this to private.xml:

<item>
  <name>firefoxcmddelete</name>
  <identifier>firefoxcmddelete</identifier>
  <only>FIREFOX</only>
  <autogen>__KeyToKey__ KeyCode::DELETE, VK_COMMAND | ModifierFlag::NONE, KeyCode::CURSOR_LEFT, ModifierFlag::SHIFT_L | ModifierFlag::COMMAND_L, KeyCode::DELETE</autogen>
</item>

I was able to fix this by going to Terminal->Preferences->Advanced and choosing xterm-256color as the setting for "Declare Terminal As"
