Delete Rows Shortcut Key

I’ve tried every method suggested on other posts about how to delete a row (or rows) in Glide data. It’s ridiculous! I’m about ready to ditch my database and start over so I don’t have extra rows. AAAAARGH!

If I select a row (via the checkbox) and hit my Del key, it opens my OS filemanager.

If I select a row and hit my Backspace button, it returns to the Glide Layout.

There’s a shortcut key for ADDING a row. What is the shortcut key for DELETING a row?

The delete key should be it. Might be a stuck key or weird keyboard mapping on your device. What OS? Which browser? If I have a stuck key on Windows, I usually tap the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys a few times, and that usually releases the sticky key.

Worst case, just try restarting your computer.

yes that should be it - or something is wrong with the keyboard

Part of my problem may be running Linux causing different issues.
Also, I have an AORUS keyboard, if that causes the quirks.

I did find a workaround, if I format my component as a table, I can give users the option of deleting rows. Simple enough.

Thank you for the replies.
