Delete key in my MacBook Pro works as backspace in other Windows keyboards and Fn + Delete works as 'delete forward' as an ordinary delete key in Windows keyboard.

How can I change the keyboard setting so that I can use both 'delete forward' and 'delete backward' using only one key-in?

For example, Eject CD key is rarely used, so I'd like to use this key as 'delete forward' key and Fn+Eject CD for ejecting CD. Can I do something like this?

You can use KeyRemap4MacBook to remap the eject key to forward delete.

Partway down this List of Prepared Settings are details under "Change Eject Key."

    Eject keys also have a small delay by default, but it can be removed with NoEjectDelay.

KeyRemap4Macbook is great, but it has way too much configurability and not very much documentation. I found this other tutorial that lets me play around with the default keymapping in ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict. This is both fast, and keyboard specific; which works very well for me
