Delete key not working
« on: March 04, 2020, 11:26:05 am »
Altium 20.0.11/12

I have a problem in which delete key stopped working, I can cut traces, click edit-delete but physical key does nothing
Shift+DEL works but its annoying to click that much
In schematic everything is working
Is there a solution for this?

Reboot your machine, sometimes a key or keys just stops working in windows apps.
A reboot always fixes it for me.

hm.. Does the delete key work in other apps?

Can you use the delete key in Altium to delete characters from text strings?

Yes, it works, and combination shift+DEL works for deleting
Also numpad + and - doesnt work to scroll through layers

Did you disable a shortcut menu, by any chance?  (Right click toolbar area, see list of available toolbars?)
