Matt Gilman commented on NIFI-1426:
-----------------------------------

Review should verify that added capabilities do not interfere with existing functionality. For instance, there is no negative impact on using backspace to delete text in any fields or forms throughout the application.

> Requiring the delete hot-key may be too restrictive when using the NiFi UI especially on a laptop which lacks a physical delete button. Folks often hit backspace which defaults to navigating to the previous page. This is unexpected has the desired action was to remove the selected components. Capturing backspace and delete may offer a more intuitive behavior.
