Another reason I don't like Macs is because when you hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, nothing happens whereby in my Windows computer, it does a lot of useful stuff.

Our Macbook Pro has no key labeled "backspace."

Wish I could help you. Mac has never made sense to me. Simple things where made insanely illogical or impossible. Why did you go with a Macbook?

Hi Rudy,

Your Macbook has both a backspace key and a forward delete key. They are one and the same key... Used without a modifier it is a normal "Backspace" key... but hold down the Function key and it is a "Forward Delete" key... what you call a "delete in place"...

In other words, the "backspace" deletes to the left, and moves leftward as the characters are deleted. With the Function Key, the Backspace deletes to the right, and pulls the text to the right toward it as the next character to the right is deleted.

By the way, here is a list of Mac Keyboard Shortcuts that you might find useful.

Our Macbook Pro has no key labeled "backspace." However, its "delete" key really is a destructive backspace key. I cannot, however, find a "true" "delete in place" key. Does the Macbook Pro have one? I tried to see if I can reprogram the "delete" key in system preferences, but don't see a screen to that effect.

As far as I can tell, what you are really looking for is a "forward delete" key.

The cursor is always between keys, so the concept of "delete in place" doesn't really have much meaning.

To achieve a forward delete, hold down the "function" key (extreme lower left of keyboard, labeled fn) and press delete. This will delete the character immediately in front of the cursor.
