How do you delete a imessage on Big Sur using keyboard?

defaults write com.apple.MobileSMS NSUserKeyEquivalents '{ "Delete ConversationU2026" = "@U232b"; }'

And BIG SUR no longer has an “X” in the person’s name so you can delete from there–you can only delete by going to file and then delete conversation…which now adds two steps to getting rid quickly of texts from non-friends (i.e. delivery announcements, etc..) Why get rid of this simple thing?It doesnt let me hold command and delete to remove a iMessage like it did on Catalina, is there a way on Big Sur to remove a message without clicking the mouse over it

Yes, this is very annoying and hopefully a bug Apple will fix. The “X” was perfect.And BIG SUR no longer has an “X” in the person’s name so you can delete from there–you can only delete by going to file and then delete conversation…which now adds two steps to getting rid quickly of texts from non-friends (i.e. delivery announcements, etc..)

Sorry, but that’s on your phone or iPAD. I’m talking about on the MAC in Big Sur. If you were to swipe left on the Mac it would create a pinned conversation. The “X” seems so simple and obvious. I hope they bring it back.It’s swipe left for me.

No it’s on my Mac. One creates a Pin, the other way gives Mute/Delete option.Sorry, but that’s on your phone or iPAD. I’m talking about on the MAC in Big Sur. If you were to swipe left on the Mac it would create a pinned conversation. The “X” seems so simple and obvious. I hope they bring it back.

Well, I take it back–You’re RIGHT. I tried sliding with TWO fingers and it worked perfectly, exposing an option for a trash can. Thank you. Not the “X” but much better than having to go to FILE every time.No it’s on my Mac. One creates a Pin, the other way gives Mute/Delete option.

Yea not saying what’s better, just that the option is there.Well, I take it back–You’re RIGHT. I tried sliding with TWO fingers and it worked perfectly, exposing an option for a trash can. Thank you. Not the “X” but much better than having to go to FILE every time.

oops – looks like two finger swipe just pins the message. I hope this gets fixed. Now, with double authorization taking place so often I get lots of text messages and it is taking too long to delete them all.two finger swipe right works for me in one step but command-option K that always worked before does not work on Big Sur 11.1 and Macbook Pro M1. This is the screen shot showing the edit menu – The Clear Transcript (conversation) should have either the command-option K or some other short cut

command-option K does not work because this is not set up as a shortcut for messages because theIt is easy to add cmd-opt-K keyboard shortcut back; use Preferences–>Keyboard–>Shortcuts. Of course, you knew that!

I would swear that Apple lets the interns build stuff these days. Mis-matched looks and functionality, especially in Big Sur.Apple: this suuuuuuuucks. Three or four clicks to delete a message. What are the top two functions in iMessage? Create new, and delete. So you make one of the most common activities take four clicks? And they removed the preference option to not ask for confirmation. Dreadful UX people. Fix it.

Maybe since Apple did away with the iMessage archive, they want us to be reaaaaaallllllyyyy sureFeedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macos.html
On my Mac, I want to delete Message conversations much more easily.
Currently, I have to swipe left, hit delete, and then click on a prompt that says “Would you like to delete this conversation?” WTF? Of course I want to delete the conversation. That is why I swiped and hit delete.
It would be great if all I had to do was hit the delete key on my keyboard and the message vanishes from my life without a stupid prompt asking me “Are you sure? Are you really sure you want to delete this conversation? Just to be certain, did you want to delete the conversation?”
Adding the ability to Shift-Click and select a whole range of conversations or Command-Click and select a variety of conversations, hit delete, and let them be gone!
