Ctrl+D

Question: “How to delete characters to the right of the cursor position?”
“The one delete key moves left, is there a single keystroke way to delete right with this keyboard?”

Answer: You can use Ctrl⌃+D to delete a single character to the right of the cursor. This is because all Macs use Emacs-style keyboard shortcuts.

Ctrl⌃+A: Beginning of line (like Home)
Ctrl⌃+B: Backward one character (like hitting the left arrow)
Ctrl⌃+D: Forward delete (like the Forward Delete button on Macs)
Ctrl⌃+E: End of line (like End)
Ctrl⌃+F: Forward one character (like hitting the right arrow)
Ctrl⌃+H: Backward delete (like hitting the Delete button on Macs)
Ctrl⌃+K: Kill/remove text between cursor and the end of the line
Ctrl⌃+N: Next line (like down arrow)
Ctrl⌃+P: Previous line (like up arrow)
Ctrl⌃+U: Remove/delete current line
Ctrl⌃+V: Page down
Ctrl⌃+Y: Paste text which has been “killed” by Ctrl⌃+K
