Hi, look at this thread please...
http://www.mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5298&p=19844#p19844

The Keyboard Delete Button isn't working for delete / cleaning any song list.
The only way I found to do this, is by right clic over the list and hitting delete,

thanks for your help,

I'm not sure this was by design?

Also, delete key for history playlists (and maybe other playlists, with confirmation) would be good.

Due to lack of progress, marking Triaged and clearing assignee. Feel free to revert if it is in fact still in progress :).

this problem also exists on macOS. let's keep both bugs as likely they require different patches.

I know you can delete
by pressing the right mouse button and selecting remove,
but i want it to work too
after pressing the "delete" key
on the computer keyboard.
I must have
delete key in library table + delete key in library
with the "delete" key without confirmation.
The "delete" key on the computer keyboard is not pressed by accident, so it can be used for that.
I do not use the mouse to operate the computer and such a function on the keyboard is necessary for me and faster than using the mouse for everyone.
Best regards.
PS in attachment I added my hotkeys

@marzimala1 I think we're all on the same page now, no need to repeat the request from the duplicate.
