On my keyboard, 'Backspace' and 'Del' are right next to one another. But, you know, I've NEVER accidently or unknowingly, keyed either 3-key combo. Not in 25+ years of using computers daily. And I don't "do" computers for a living. I just use them. And to those "upstream" geniuses, a little sage advice: It's impossible to protect people from their own stupidity. Or incompetence.
