A good tip. Better might be an option to disable the <del> key entirely
in this situation, if the developer so desired. Old habits (that work
in every other program on my computer) die hard.

When editing properties, I'd suggest never using the delete key at
all. Use the trash can icons instead.
Important: use the UPPER trash can to delete single properties, use
the LOWER trash can to delete property sets. The Delete key is just
too vague sometimes with multiple hilites all over the place.

I hate to break in here, but just 10 minutes ago, I wanted to delete
a custom property from a field. I selected the property in the
inspector (it was the first one and it was highlighted), I hit
delete, return (did not read the "are you sure" box very carefully)
and every custom property was deleted. I went immediately to the
Edit menu and the undo was available, so I selected it. None of my
custom properties were restored, but the field was still there. I
had to revert to last saved. When I actually try to delete more than
one custom property at a time, I can't even select more than one.
Perhaps I did something wrong (operator error), but I can not figure
out what it could have been. I have noticed that the IDE has a tough
time doing the focus right. For instance, I can select the doc
window, click in the find field --it is outlined, then start typing,
only to look up and see that nothing is being typed into the field.
I have to click on it again before it works. This has happened also
in my stacks. What gives?
