Mac users: What's the best keyboard shortcut for deleting items?

On Windows, you can select an item on the task list (or multiple items), and then click the "Del" key to delete the items.

On a Mac, you have to press "fn + delete", which requires two keys.  The technical reason is that "Del" in Windows is for forward delete and on a Mac "delete" is for backward delete but "fn + delete" is for forward delete.

TntMPD 3.0 would be a nice time to change that, if it should be changed. 

On a Mac, should TntMPD:

1.  Keep "fn + delete" as the standard "delete" keyboard shortcut?

2.  Support both "fn + delete" and "delete"?

3.  Something else?

Thanks,
Troy

Delete key by itself (aka "backspace") is what I'd try first on my MacBook keyboard.

OK.  Thanks for your input.  I'll make both "Backspace" and "Delete" work the same for deleting items from the task/history list.  This should make it work well for both Windows and Mac users.
