Description

Handle the deleteKey message if you want to do something special when the user presses the forward delete key.

The message is sent to the active (focused) control, or to the current card if no control is focused.

The forward delete key is not the same as the backspace or delete key: * The forward delete key is usually to the right of the main keyboard layout, and may be labeled with the word "Delete" or a left-facing arrow. Pressing it sends a deleteKey message. * The backspace key is usually on the main keyboard above the Return key, and is may be labeled "Backspace" or "Delete". Pressing it sends a backspaceKey message.
