In Mac OS X pressing the delete key on my Macbook does not delete a highlighted file. I recently realized that by pressing Command + Delete I am able to finally delete items that I have highlighted. This requires two key to be pressed, but at least I can use the keyboard without having to make a mouse click.
I typically like to use the keyboard for as much as possible because it is quicker than jumping back and forth between the mouse/keyboard. This newly found keyboard shortcut will make deleting items in Finder a lot more efficient.
I hope this helps you, if you didn't already know about this. Are there any keyboards shortcuts that you use that you could suggest?
