Is there a keyboard shortcut for deleting one character ahead of the cursor, instead of one character behind it (backspace)? Back in the days when I was using xemacs for my Matlab editor, I could do this with Ctrl+D. If it exists in Matalb, what is it's "action name" within the keyboard shortcuts preference editor, so that I might customize it?

Do you not have the extended keyboard with the navigation pad and the numeric keypad? Does your keyboard not have a delete key?

Usually this is done by the delete key.

@Jan, Thanks a lot.
what is it's "action name" within the keyboard shortcuts preference editor, so that I might customize it?
And, in answer to this part, there is a "Delete" action in the preference settings that can be reassigned.

For some reason, Apple keyboards don't have a delete key. Or actually what they called delete was actually a backspace key. I always hated that about them. So what I did was to get a Logitech keyboard (for my wife's Mac) that had both a backspace key (delete to the left of the cursor) and delete key (delete to the right of the cursor). Problem solved.

My Apple keyboard does have a delete key. It is a German keyboard and the key is marked as "Entf".
The compact keyboard without a number block use Fn-Delete (which is the "Backspace"-key...) or control-D.

If you have a keyboard lacking a Delete key then, for Matlab purposes at least, you can reassign the Delete action to a different keyboard shortcut:
