It is because of issues like this that I have instituted several
habits to protect myself from the IDE.
1. After I create a field or group etc. I select the can't delete
option.
2. After I initially place an object, I select the lock size and
position option.
3. Before trying a major edit I save the stack as a "Revert" point
4. When editing a script I hit "apply" often
5. When satisfied that I want to keep the changes so far, I do 3 again.
I have also noticed that often when I apply, I get an error message
that makes no sense to me. When I hit the Script button, it hilights
a portion of a comment line (I put in a lot of comments). After
scratching my head a few times I try applying again --this time it
takes it. WHen I run my script, there are no problems with it.

I've long though Rev needed a preference setting to prevent this
sort of accidental deletion, which can be fairly catastrophic. My
testing in 2.5.1 on OS X 10.4 with your scenario reveals a couple
of things.
First, if the properties inspector is open and selected, pressing
the delete key does not have any effect at all. The field, though
it is selected, is not deleted. If, OTOH, I select the window in
which the field appears and then hit the backspace key, the field
is in fact deleted, but -- and this surprised me and contradicts
what others have said here -- Undo did not bring the field back to
life.
None of the fields is salvaged from an unintentional delete via
backspace or delete key by an undo operation, though all other
object types from the palette behave exactly as expected (i.e.,
undo restores them from accidental deletion).
SO while it seems like there was user error involved here (I don't
believe in user error, by the way), this clear bug at least
possibly prevented you from recovering cleanly.

I was editing the custom properties of a table. I wanted to

not bring the table back.
