Delete or Backspace

[TruePaige]

Do you use the delete key or the backspace key? Or do you use a combination of both?

Personally I backspace mostly, but do delete when I'm reviewing documents that are already completed.

Backspace for all text editing. I'll use delete only to delete files.

Did you backspace or delete your avatar? 😉

I highlight, right-click, and select Cut.

Backspace to correct quick mistakes.

Highlight + delete for major edit.

Both.

50/50 depends on where the cursor is

every single time you want to remove something? that seems a tad bit tedious

backspace FTW

its probably not 50/50 but thats the closest choice to "both"... depending where the cursor lands is what determines which one i use. also, delete and bsp have different functions in a lot of programs, like in excel it will clear contents when you hit bsp but delete the cell if you hit del. some of the proprietary progs i use have different functions for bsp, so i get used to using del to get rid of something completely. in a text atmosphere, backspace probably gets used more tho.

Keyboard cat is the only acceptable answer.

LOL! I also use both backspace and delete, depending on what I'm doing at the time, where I am in the document, and even what application I'm using.

This.

The only valid answer is keyboard cat.
