Comment #3 on issue 29720 by oxford.tuxedo: Delete is mapped to back button
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29720

If this is intentional, user tests should be conducted on Apple laptop  
users, as it is my experience that no
Apple laptop users use the Delete key to navigate back in the page history.

Personally, on a PC, it is my practice to use the Backspace key to navigate  
back in the page history. However,
on a Mac, it is not at all my instinct to use the Delete key (which does,  
in some contexts, behave the same as
the Backspace key on PCs) to navigate back in the page history.

Although it may be convention among browsers for the Delete key on an Apple  
laptop to be used for
navigation, it should be user-tested to find out if it is indeed often used  
for navigation. If it is more often
accidentally pressed than it is intentionally used to navigate, the Delete  
key should lose its navigational
functions (at least by default).
