Forward Delete Key to delete items

Hi - the shortcut to delete a file in Finder on a Mac is CMD-Delete aka CMD-Backspace to move that file to the Trash.

The Forward Delete key does not delete files in macOS (like it might in Windows). So PowerKey, emulating a Forward Delete key, will not delete them either.

If you use PowerKey remap the Power key to Delete (backspace) then use the shortcut CMD-Power, the file will be moved to the Trash.

If you want to use the Forward Delete key to delete files, you will need to remap that functionality in macOS. Once you do, PowerKey should work to trigger that re-mapped functionality.
