Globe+Delete on iPad with Magic Keyboard doesn't delete forward over SSH/mosh about blink HOT 3 OPEN

Hello @synthmeat! Thank you for bring this up to us.
I was unfortunately unable to replicate your use of Globe+Delete, do you have a special configuration for the Globe Key? What Magic Keyboard version do you have?

In the mean time… I found that Ctrl+D will give you the delete forward ability, even in the remote.
Please let us know if there are any further questions!

@iflowerml Sorry it took a while. I got used to Ctrl+D for everywhere, so that makes this a happy story of learning new things. I knew it was there, but I didn't appreciate it enough. :)

Anyways, I've noticed many popular apps don't support the Globe+Delete (i.e. Slack) so I guess this might not even be characterised as a bug. I do think that's wrong - it should just work - so, in the case you're still interested, here's more details of my setup:

iPad

iPadOS Version: 17.4.1
Model Name: iPad Pro (11-inch) (4th generation)

Magic Keyboard

Model: A2261
Layout: ANSI US
No `Globe` customisation, only `CapsLock` to `Esc` at OS level.

Some info about remotes on which it doesn't work:

Also, I possibly hallucinated to it ever working anywhere on iPadOS. Hey, humans hallucinate too!
