    Description

      In Qt 4.3.3 documentation it's stated that QKeySequence::Delete
      corresponds to Delete and Meta+Delete shortcuts. But native OSX
      applications also use Backspace to remove items from containers.

      Some examples:

      • Opening Preview.app with several images, then selecting the right
        pane with the individual images
      • iTunes, when some track is selected
      • Address Book.app, when a contact is selected
      • Finder, when file is selected

      It's basically this way because on laptop Mac keyboards there is no
      easily accessible Delete key at all, all's left is Backspace.

      It would be nice if Backspace was added to the list of the shortcuts.
