SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make a selection on an unlocked layer 2. Press the (Mac) Delete key (which is essentially backspace) 3. Does nothing. 4. Hold FN and press Delete (emulates PC delete) OBSERVED RESULT Need to hold FN to perform delete with the Delete key on Mac. Not a usual behavior on macOS. EXPECTED RESULT Since Macs lack a dedicated PC delete key, usually Delete (backspace) is used as a delete function. Expect Delete key to delete selection contents. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS macOS: Catalina (10.15.6 like OS X) MacBookPro10,1 MacBook Pro Retina (15", Dual Graphics, Early-2013)
There is an easy enough way to get it: go to settings > Configure krita... > Keyboard shortcuts and type "clear" . You can then assign this action to the key you want. If this should be made a default choice for mac, would probably have to be consulted with other mac users on krita artists forum.
And I was even changing other shortcuts earlier, and I didn't think of that... One of those days. Though, I do think it should be that by default.
Hi, Wynter! The default action for backspace shortcut is "Fill with Background Color". Therefore, when you press Backspace key, it should do that instead of "clearing". And, yes, you can change this behavior in the settings.
Given that the delete button clears the selection on all other macOS paint apps I've tested, I think we should change the default on macOS.
boud, should we exchange both in macOS? backspace -> clear, del -> fill with background? I'm trying to find a place where we can override their defaults.
I think that it might be easiest to do this when loading the shortcuts.

Git commit 99f7f30391c23f20c2d531619971049756416ef4 by L. E. Segovia. Committed on 04/11/2020 at 12:56. Pushed by lsegovia into branch 'master'. Add OS-specific action property retrieval to KisActionRegistry This enables the retrieval of operating system-specific action properties. OS-specific action properties are labeled with the attributes "operatingSystem" (for the selected OS; currently only "macos" is defined) and "operatingSystemElse" (for the rest). This commit adds a function, getChildContentForOS, that: - When finding a matching "operatingSystem", returns the given node's text - When finding a node with "operatingSystemElse", stores the last seen one - When finding a node without any of these parameters, stores the first seen one and ignores the rest This commit implements said change on the Del and Backspace key shortcuts for macOS.
