Igor Lorents Filter Forge, Inc. Posts: 39	Opw, The delete key will work if the highlighted control is either the filter list or the preset list. In these cases the current filter or the current preset will be deleted, respectively. If something else is highlighted, pressing delete will really do nothing, though the corresponding menu is still blinking.

opw Posts: 16	Igor, I further tested out what you meant by your fix above, but I do not think that it is sufficient for OS X users. Right now the equivalent of the "DEL" key must be pressed to trigger that method. This means pressing the "delete" key to the right of the +/= key (US Layout) will not work. In addition, it also means laptop users must press fn+delete to get this to work. In most use conditions, users are simply used to pressing delete next to the +/= key OR the "real" DEL key to get that same thing to happen in a UI case. Sorry I'm a stickler, but it can only make for better user experience!
