Just because there are no default shortcuts bound to backspace doesn't mean that people haven't done it. |

It's a small thing, but on a mac laptop, the delete button sends keycode 8. But all the delete shortcuts are tied to 46.
Rather than adjust the shortcuts based on whether it is mac or windows (easy enough for desktop, but harder for the webapp), I just normalize every keycode 8 into 46, because there are no shortcuts bound to 8.
summary of the weird macOS/windows keycode issue.
Without this PR, the workaround is that whenever a shortcut says
Delete, it is actuallyFn+Delete.
