Matt Gilman commented on NIFI-1426:
-----------------------------------
Agreed. I will leave this patch alone and create a second patch that addresses
the other pages in the application.
One note is that we provide extensible UIs for custom configuration and data
viewing. I can update the implementations we offer but if folks provide their
own, they will need to provide that capability themselves. This is good though,
as I think it falls into the category of offering a similar user experience as
the rest of the application.
Thanks!

> Requiring the delete hot-key may be too restrictive when using the NiFi UI
> especially on a laptop which lacks a physical delete button. Folks often hit
> backspace which defaults to navigating to the previous page. This is
> unexpected has the desired action was to remove the selected components.
> Capturing backspace and delete may offer a more intuitive behavior.
