The keyboard behavior of MacOS is not respected regarding the delete key. On MacOS, the direct equivalent of the Windows del key is called forward delete. While it theoretically exists, it is not even available on Mac keyboards with less than 100 keys, which is almost all of them. The default MacOS action for deleting elements is to use either the "backspace" key (called delete in Mac jargon), or command+delete (again, I mean the "backspace" key, and not the Windows del, which is forward delete).
Describe the solution you'd like
The solution I seek is replacing the shortcut for deleting elements from forward delete to delete(backspace), so that NAPS2 follows the other MacOS programs in function, allowing for a consistent interface.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Pressing fn+delete gives the forward delete key, doing the delete action. Still, this is not desirable, as this is the only program doing this, and a bit of a workaround.
Context
I am fully aware this might come as nitpicky, but I always go by the "ok, now tell your mom that" philosophy. My parents use this piece of software at their home office very often, and, while they aren't as receptive of "use fn instead" anymore, they have very well-defined workflows they don't deviate very much off. Keeping elements consistent makes software much more accessible to end users that have no developer experience.

While I agree this should be fixed, in the just-released 8.0b3 it's possible to do it yourself as you can configure keyboard shortcuts (under NAPS2->Settings).
