Delete/Suppr key

Problem:There should be a key called 'Delete' that, depending on the context, deletes the selection (file, text...), or the character located after the cursor (backspace would delete the character before). On a Macbook, there isn't.

Solution:
fn+backspace
deletes the character after the cursor
cmd+backspace send the selected files to trash

The problem is, on a macbook fn and backspace are opposite keys, and it's impossible to do it with one had :-(
