Im on a new laptop with different new keyboard configuration and its not very ergonomic to use the delete key. When I try to asign ‘backspace’ for edit/delete I get “Key cannot be used as a shortcut dialogue” Windows 10. Any thoughts. Cheers.

https://help.sketchup.com/en/sketchup/customizing-your-keyboard-and-mouse You can’t use shortcuts that your operating system has reserved. If a shortcut is unavailable, SketchUp lets you know. …So: That’s it. :blush:

Yeah I assumed that might be the case. What confused me is that the ‘delete’ key is obviously assigned to edit/delete by default but if I remove this assignment with the “-” button sketchup prevents me adding it again. (Perhaps for the same reasons mentioned above) I have to cancel the shortcut alt…
