How would I go about trapping the delete key on Mac and the

By using the SelStart property to manipulate the insertion point
within the text. It isn't a simple task to edit the text on your
keyboard as you must emulate what is already built-in to the
editfield's text entry methods. There is a difference between
trapping keyboard keydown events and simulating them in a press of a
BevelButton on your own 'keyboard'. You basically must do all of the
background work yourself.
