I was messing around with keyboard shortcuts and I think I've messed it up a bit

I'd swear the default key was the delete key itself but if I enter that - it doesn't seem to work and I've had to assign the backspace key

Have I got a problem (or is it just a problem with my memory - I don't used keyboard shortcuts much - prefer to use right-mouse actions)

Sorry, don't know, I never change the shortcuts. 😉

So certainly not changed by me.

Though interestingly, my live server (the last was my dev) is slightly different:

That is running on Linux, the dev is on Windows.

Oh, didn't read the bit on the right, something from a custom node.

Just been discussing the forum activity this evening with my wife.  
"It sounds like a load of in-mates having a party whilst the guard is not looking"

Off-topic I know, but thought it was fun to share 😄
