The 'DEL' key on Mac keyboards is actually backspace, which is well... backspace
Kinda OT nitpicking, but none of the Apple KBD I have here have a key named "DEL", well there is one that says "Entf"(ernen) aka "Remove".
Backspace is in the same location as it is on PC KBDs just like delete is on full size KBDs. Laptop and the non Numpad external KBDs do lack DEL at all (you do fn+Backspace).
The real question is whether DEL/backspace could be used in a context sensitive way whenever no text is being edited.
Which could/should be possible by the MUI string/textedit/??? class "eating" those events when active so they only go up to the higher group object when not editing, which then would utilize them to delete emails or select them with cursor keys.
