Description Cezar Lenci CLA 2011-05-31 15:34:42 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

The NewKeysPreferencePage (package org.eclipse.ui.internal.keys) uses a KeySequenceText to filter keystrokes and display them as accelerators in the keybinding field. 
The KeySequenceText (package org.eclipse.jface.bindings.keys) uses a KeyTrapListener to trap some keys used to edit the contents of the KeySequenceText, including SWT.DEL.
Because of this, I think SWT.DEL should be added to KeySequenceText.TRAPPED_KEYS, so it would show on the popup menu next to the binding field on the Keys preference page.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to menu Window -> Preferences -> General (preference page) -> Keys (preference page)
2.Select any command
3.Try to change its binding to "Delete" key
