<Swing Dev> [13] Review Request: 8225144 [macos] In Aqua L&F backspace key does not delete when Shift is pressed

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi, Semyon.

I would like to investigate other macOS specific shortcuts in a separate CR

>> Please add also Ctrl+BackSpace (delete previous char) 

I made a quick look and it seems ctrl+backspace does not work in some application like Thunderbird.

> and Command+BackSpace (delete previous word) keystrokes which are ignored in Aqua as well.

On macOS to remove the previous word the "Opt+BackSpace" is used and it is implemented.

Also "Ctrl+BackSpace" and "Command+BackSpace", unlike "Opt+BackSpace" are not mentioned in the
list of "standard" shortcuts:
