[jira] [Commented] (NIFI-1426) Allow backspace to delete selected components on the canvas

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1426?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15125712#comment-15125712 ] 

Joseph Witt commented on NIFI-1426:
-----------------------------------

[~mcgilman] [~aldrin] I think this isn't quite right.  It appears that when entering text into values of processor properties for example that you cannot hit delete and have it behave as expected.

> 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.
