Hmm, well, I guess that is a matter of terminology.

On an apple keyboard you only have a "Delete" key and not a
"Backspace" key. The Delete key is in the spot the normal Backspace
key is.

Backwards delete 1 character at a time: Delete (normal Backspace)
Frontwards Delete 1 character at a time: Fn+Delete (normal Delete)

I am not sure if that needs special handling. Does it work if you just
reassign the the key for the action that is triggered fomr the delete
key to the backspace key?

I guess an approach to fix this could be to have another default key
set for this on the OS X builds.
