how can I delete a code using the delete-button?
Try clicking on the line of test statement you want to delete, then click Delete.
Or switch to the Script view and delete the line you want.
I need to delete several characters on the right, not the whole line
today it began to work.What happened?!!
Mine is also not working. I can delete things in the âFile Explorerâ view, but when editing code it does not work. I have tried with 2 different keyboards, one wired and one Blue Tooth. Both Delete keys work in other programs and in windows itself.
I know itâs a small thing, but I have come to rely on that little guy since I started typing on a keyboard. Please Please find a fix
Itâs a bug. It happens a lot. In the menu, go to
Window -> Katalon Studio Preferences -> General -> Keys
and filter for âdeleteâ, you will see that the Delete entry has no binding. Simply set it like this:
Unfortunately, it will get wiped again. I have yet to figure out WHAT is wiping it â sometimes it survives for days, sometimes itâs gone within a few minutes of opening KS.

Hi Russ,
I just checked the Preferences setting at my end and the delete command has binding. Would you please double check again? There is also a Restore Default button. Have you tried to restore the setting?

Hi Liam
No, the problem is as I described it â âsomethingâ removes the binding but I donât know what.
Iâve just updated to 5.3.1, maybe itâs been fixed? Iâll report back if it happens again.
Thanks
Russ
Liam,
As promised, hereâs the delete key binding removed for unknown reasons:
Note:
1 - There is no binding
2 - It says âIn Dialogs and Windowsâ but should say âEditing Textâ

Hi Russ,
The development team is still trying to find the root cause. We couldnât reproduce the issue at our end. It seems like happen randomly. I will mention to the team again and keep you posted.
Regards,
Liam
Thanks Liam
Yesterday it happened within a minute or two of restarting KS. I checked the âKeysâ setting like the image above but the weird thing was it was actually set correctly⌠yet my Delete key was not working.
So, just out of interest, I reassigned the âdelete selectionâ binding to Ctrl+1, just to see⌠and that worked. Ctrl+1 was working just like a proper Delete key. So then I tried restoring the setting back to the proper Delete key. Broken again.
Finally I restarted KS again (as I had only minutes before restarted KS, I thought this was a waste of time). Bingo, Delete key was working again.
So, it seems whatever is removing the Delete key function is not necessarily related to the Keys settings in the dialog (but sometimes the dialog reflects that the function has been removed, and sometimes it doesnât).
I can imagine this is a nightmare for the guys to debug⌠but clearly, something is doing it.
Reminder:
Latest KS, Win 7
And, if it makes a difference, my setup looks like the image posted here:
Since KS is not able to remember my window arrangement, I spend the first few minutes arranging them like that image. And yesterday was the same, after arraning my windows/tabs, delete was broken. Then on the second restart, delete was working (and still is working since KS is still running).
Thanks Liam!

Hi @4015-Russ,
Great! Thank you so much for providing details information. There are a lot of key points in your post that might help the development team to debug the issue. I will share this with our guys.
I understand that the Delete key does not work after rearranging the window?
Much appreciated!
Liam
Hi @Liam
Well, when I first used KS, I didnât have so many windows open so Iâm not absolutely certain itâs my setup⌠just thought Iâd mention it.
KS is still open since I wrote that message and the Delete key is fine. Whatever the cause is, itâs pretty weird.
Thanks!
Hi,
I had the issue too. Workaround before bug correction => I bind delete to delete and it work.
Hi,
Can someone tell me where is used âDelete Nextâ command ?
Hi all,
This issue will be fixed in later release, so please wait for it
Regards
This issue is still present in 6.1.0 b1. Iâve been using KS all day, with no problems since upgrading yesterday. I stepped away for dinner. Came back, and my delete key was not working. Checked my bindings are present. Restarted KS and magically the delete key is working again.
On a side note I have not seen this issue for a few weeks, but I have seen it previously with other versions. Myself and several of my team mates have all observed this same âdelete key not workingâ issue
This worked for me. Iâm using Rev 6.1.3
Thanks Russ and Eric for providing the fix.
I just had this happen to me. I am using Version: 6.2.1 Build: 2.
