Delete keys on Laptop keyboard (Standard and NumLock) are not working in QCad. Shortcut ER works.

Thanks.
I cannot reproduce this here.
Both the Delete and the Backspace keys should work for deleting selected entities. Can you try backspace?

... on a Win11 Pro Notebook:

in QCad
QWERTY Keyboard: "Delete" key nor "Backspace" key are working.
Numeric Keypad: "del" key not working.

Other programs have no problems with those keys.

Very odd. I haven't heard that before, so this is unlikely a common issue.
Can you double-check if the delete key is assigned to the delete tool (see attached).

Also: does the delete key work in text input fields? Thanks.

Fixed! For what ever reason it was not anymore assigned to the delete keys. Thanks!
