1) Select anything in the navigator
2) pop up the context menu
3) Notice that the keybinding for "Delete" is the delete key.

For consistency with other applications on the Mac, the keybinding should be "backspace" (which confusingly is labeled "delete" on Mac keyboards).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
