In Processing 1.0.9 on Mac OS X, shift-backspace behaves like (forward) delete. This is non-
standard for the Mac (which uses function-backspace for delete), and, I would guess, for other
operating systems too. Is it possible to change it to behave like backspace instead?

this is consistent with programmers text editors such as BBEdit and
TextWrangler on the Mac. but nobody is ever gonna agree on this stuff, so
it's probably time to just externalize all of it to the prefs file and they
can deal with it however they'd like.

added preference for > 1.0.9:
editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete = false
