  • Delete Marker doesn't work anymore

2016.11 introduced some bugs related to keyboard shortcuts, Delete key, insert marker, etc. I figured out workarounds for those by redoing the keyboard shortcuts, but I see no decent way to delete a marker, except select a track, Control-Alt-X and check markers. Any other ways to do this?

I didn't know there was a Delete Marker key. I've always brought up the list of markers and deleted the ones I didn't want.

I normally select the marker with my mouse and hit the Delete key. You can also open the Markers view and delete a marker that way. Neither of those ways work anymore. Have you tried it?

I'm going to go over a bunch of stuff that's kind of "common knowledge" now, but...
Do you have your synth rack open in the browser?
If so, is it docked at the top or bottom?
If it is docked on top, move it to the bottom; if that doesn't help, close it.
Does the "-" key in Markers View work?
Did you "bind" the delete key in Keyboard Shortcuts?
I had an issue with the delete key "bound" in Shortcuts.
I would highlight a marker in the Markers view, but whatever was selected track in track view is what got deleted.
The same "issue" in the Event List, a "delete" there caused a delete in the track view.
That created some interesting/challenging issues!
FWIW, I've never had any luck trying to edit Markers from the timeline; just me maybe.

Both of those methods are working on my system using the December release.

I can delete Markers by clicking and holding on the Marker until the white outlined down arrow turns solid white, then simultaneously hitting the Delete key.  As soon as I change the Synth Rack to Dock at Right, the Delete key no longer deletes the Marker. 
 
This is an annoying bug with a very simple workaround and there should be a "Sticky post" in the top of the forum acknowledging the problem and providing the workaround.
 
As @DeeringAmps, many other people, and I have stated in other posts about "missing shortcuts":
 
Do NOT set the Synth Rack to "Dock at Right"!  Either undock it or dock it in any other location.  Continuing to re-bind built-in shortcuts is an exercise in futility.
 
Hope this helps,

Well this makes sense. I don't look at the synth rack since they "improved" it. Man I wish they'd quit doing these stupid, non essential GUI changes. I live with the hope that there's actually a bigger plan that requires these changes.

In my markers view I don’t' find the "-" key. Where is it? I see what you mean about binding the delete key, now it doesn’t work in markers view or the event list, the selected track in track view is what gets deleted.
 
Here's what I discovered with all keyboard shortcuts zapped, synth rack open in the browser and docked at the top, I can delete the marker in the markers view, but if I select the marker with my mouse and hit the delete key, it won't delete. Yet if I dock the synth rack at the bottom I can select the marker with my mouse and hit the delete key, it will delete.
 
With all my Keyboard shortcuts enabled, the Delete key doesn’t work in the markers view or by selecting the marker with my mouse and hitting delete. The reason I have my delete key bound to Edit/Delete is because if I don’t I can't delete a clip or anything I normally use the delete key for due to this bug in 2016.12
 
Because of this I'm forced to use only one method for deleting a marker: select a clip, choose Control-Alt-X and check only the marker box, hit ok. A little awkward, but at least it works. If anyone has a better solution, please chime in

Hey John check out my latest post and see if things are working for you if you bind the delete key and dock the synth rack in the upper part of the Browser
