I also have a problem with the delete key. I ended up trying a different input cover - and the delete ket was working. It’s a hardware problem with the original input cover. I’m unclear on if it was like that since I first bought it, or was something that developed later.
For anyone with a delete key that doesn’t work, I’d suggest considering trying another input cover.
Also, I just have to note - I am NOT pleased with the way Framework support handled it. I explained to them all of my troubleshooting steps, even took a video of the delete key being pressed at their insistence. Their response was the extremely insulting approach of explaining what the delete key does, as if I’ve never seen a computer before:
In text editing:
When pressed while typing in a text editor or document, the Delete key removes the character directly to the right of the cursor. This is in contrast to the Backspace key, which removes the character to the left of the cursor.
In file management:
When used in file management systems, the Delete key marks the selected file or folder for deletion. The actual deletion typically occurs when the user confirms the action, such as by pressing the Enter key or clicking the “Delete” button in a confirmation dialog box.
