you can use the app DoubleCommand to assing Delete to the Enter key, which isn't really used...

The "Delete" key under F13 is a backspace (erase) key. The "Delete" key to the right and under F14 and the help key will actually delete anything that is highlighted, e-mails, etc. Is this what you mean?

command + delete will do it on any desktop.

command is the "Apple key" next to the Option (known to PC users as Alt) key.

Command + Delete does nothing for me. I use Command + Backspace on my iMac.
