Description

This is a personnal thought but i think adding the backspace key as shortcut to delete objects will be great. Max/MSP and TouchDesigner seem to use both keys to delete elements as many softwares and websites... This will maintain consistency with standards and will propably slightly improve the user experience by the same occasion.

I don't know if something is currently binded to the backspace key but i could not find it iif so.

Find where the delete key shortcut is handled in the codebase and add a similar handler for the backspace key.
