[PATCH] Assume Shift+Backspace is Backspace

[David Sterba <dave jikos cz>]

Hello,

I'm sending a patch, wich corrects keypress of 'Shift+Backspace'
to 'Backspace'.

It seems to me more comfortable not to release the Shift key
when typing variable name and making a typo.
By now Shift+BS does nothing and only slows down typing.

I think Shift+BS has not any specific meaning which could be
possibly broken by such change.
