Delete key
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
On computer keyboards, the delete key, labelled "Del", should, during normal text editing, discard the character at the cursor's position, moving all following characters one position "back" towards the freed place.
Sometimes this desired effect is replaced by inserting "^H" (or, less frequently, "^?") instead. This is related to ASCII control characters for BS and DEL.
