Fn+Backspace operates as forward delete and can be combined with shift, command, and option for text editing.

I’m pretty sure Option + Clicking on a dock icon will minimize it.

If you are confused with how the keyboard shortcuts work, here’s a quick guide.

The command key is the main operator for system wide shortcuts and major application shortcuts.

Command + shift is for secondary app shortcuts

Command + option is for rarely used app shortcuts

Option is for hidden options in applications and across the system. Try opening the application menu in the top bar and holding down option to see how many new shortcuts are available up there. Try option clicking or dragging things in the system to see how they react.

The control key is never used in applications and is rarely used in the system. It’s main function is in terminal applications.

Hope this helped!

Thanks for the "option + dock icon", that helps a lot!

I knew about the forward delete shortcut but it's just another shortcut I have to remember each time I want to use it. The only reason I don't get the design decision is because I've learned it in a different manner I guess.

Outside of that, thanks for the reply. I think I got the option key better. It just gives you alternative stuff you can do in the same menu/with the same shortcut. I don't even remember why I had to use control but the positioning is also very awkward in my opinion.

Thank you!
