No, the left arrow key moves the cursor to the left in text, but the backspace deletes the letter immediately left of the cursor.
You may be able to make it so you can use those two keys interchangeably if you alter with registration settings and stuff, but by default they do different functions.
The backspace key will delete characters as it moves the insertion point four spaces to the left. The left-arrow key will move the insertion point to the left four spaces without changing any of the characters in the line.
The backspace key. If it isn't labeled BKSP then it will have a left pointing arrow <--
Backspace key.
Backspace (an arrow pointing left)
Use the Backspace key. It usually is labeled as Backspace or has an arrow pointing to the left. On most keyboard layouts, you will find the key above the Enter key in the right corner of the top row of keys (just below the function keys).
A large, double-width key usually with the word "backspace" written on it but some keyboards denote with a long left-facing arrow. It is usually found at the top-right of the primary (alphanumeric) keys, on the same row as the digits, above the enter/return key and below the F12 key.
It's the arrow key under the backspace arrow on the keyboard.
The delete key removes the character above or to the right of the cursor. The backspace removes the character to the left of the cursor.
Backspace key
It's to the right of the minus key (-) and to the left of the backspace key.
The delete button erases things in front of the cruser and the backspace button erases behind the cruser. ;) but next time do your own hw
If you hit the Backspace key, the insertion point will move to the left. If you press the Delete key, the insertion point will stay where it is.
