DEL key of Keyboard does not work












0















I tried searching in the forum but could not find any solution to my problem.



When I press Delete (as in text-editor), it does not do anything. I would like it to perform its usual functionality, like deleting the next character or symbol while typing. I am using Ubuntu. The rest of the keyboard works as it is supposed to.



Thank you



(is any more information required?)

    Please provide relevant information, such as Ubuntu version, Computer brand and/or model and/or make. Also, which text editor did you encounter this issue in? And lastly, does this happen only on the said text editor, or it is global?

  • Hi, i use Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and have a Lenovo 910 Yoga. I've tried to use LibreOffice. After your question I've discovered that it does not work anywhere. So it's a global problem. Thank you
