An early typewriter with a backspacer[sic] key.(Blickensderfer Model 7)Although the term "backspace" is the traditional name of the key which steps the carriage back and/or [note 3] deletes the previous character, typically to the left of the cursor, the actual key may be labeled in a variety of ways, for example delete, [1] erase, [note 4] or with a left pointing arrow.

Backspace: Moves the cursor left (but may "backwards wrap" if cursor is at start of line). ^I: 0x09: HT: Tab: Moves the cursor right to next tab stop. ^J: 0x0A: LF: Line Feed: Moves to next line, scrolls the display up if at bottom of the screen. Usually does not move horizontally, though programs should not rely on this. ^L: 0x0C: FF: Form Feed
One example of this continued division of use is the type tool in Adobe Photoshop, where the return key produces a new line while the enter key ends editing mode. Another is Mathematica, where the Return key creates a new line, while the Enter key (or Shift-Return) submits the current command for execution.
The Teletype Model 33 provided a key labelled RUB OUT to punch this character (after the user backed up the tape using another button), and did not provide a key that produced the Backspace character (BS). Therefore, a number of less-expensive computer systems that used Teletypes used this key (and thus the Delete code) to ignore the previous ...
For example, the key labelled "Backspace" typically produces code 8, "Tab" code 9, "Enter" or "Return" code 13 (though some keyboards might produce code 10 for "Enter"). Many keyboards include keys that do not correspond to any ASCII printable or control character, for example cursor control arrows and word processing functions. The associated ...
The Alt key method does not work on ChromeOS, macOS, Linux or other operating systems and there is no evidence of interest in replicating it. However, numeric entry of Unicode characters is possible in most Unix or Unix-like OSs by pressing and releasing Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U, and typing the hex number followed by the space bar or enter key. For ...
On Apple Keyboards, both the forward delete key and the delete (backspace) key have the same effect when pressed while an object is selected. [1] On Unix-like systems, the delete key is usually mapped to ESC [3~ which is the VT220 escape code for the "delete character" key. [clarification needed] [4]
