Delete on a Mac is more like Backspace on a PC.
(at last on my Macbook Pro, it might be configurable)

Possible workaround: use FN + Delete to delete a shape.

I concur...this should be closed as not a bug.

I wouldn't say close this bug.
Comparable applications allow both Delete and Backspace for deleting shapes.
The workaround is there, but it would be nice to not have to use the workaround.

Hi, I've create a fork of Pencil and I've added backspace as shortcut for deleting shapes. You can download build from Github https://github.com/LukasRychtecky/pencil

fn+delete doesn't work either. This, and several other shortcuts, are must haves, in my book. I added an issue for the others here: https://code.google.com/p/evoluspencil/issues/detail?id=511&thanks=511&ts=1352821148

@prikhi Any chance to merge the change into master branch? Or how could we help? :)

[prikhi]

Didn't know a fix existed(all comments are from google code import).

I'll get this in soon, the fix is simple: LukasRychtecky/pencil@52dbc37
