It's not supposed to. This is a suggestion to support the backspace key.

I support since it would make text editors more decent

if ,key (join (backspace) ()). then

Semi-Support. This could cause confusion for Mac’s and PC’ I’ve seen those types of keyboards and they have “backspace” for PC and “delete” for Mac

In the sensing section, there is a “key pressed” block, and backspace is not on the list of keys. I am making an email system, and I am going to impose a character limit on messages, maybe 250 or 500, and a character counter would be nice so that people could know how many characters their messages contain before they get an error message and lose their message. However, a character counter would be very impractical without a backspace key. Supporting the backspace key would be very easy and I am surprised it is not already supported!
<key [backspace] pressed?>
u need backspace to delete characters. I'm thinking it would activate the block every time u pressed backspace. if that happens, it might start some code and/or not do what the backspace key is supposed to.
If you've clicked out of the project or typing an answer, it won't activate as with all the keys.

you could also highlight a part of it and right click and press cut

I believe that the inclusion of backspace, enter, shift, and control keys with a sensor block would greatly enhance the functionality of various painting and support-based software. It would also be highly beneficial to enable the use of F keys (F1, F2, F3, etc.). My priority lies in the implementation of a sensor block for the delete, return, shift, and command/control keys. I believe that this addition would significantly increase overall efficiency and ease of use in Scratch. I am of the opinion that a vast array of opportunities could potentially become available to everyone who uses Scratch.

that block is wrong it should have a join _ and backspace in a key _ pressed block

I know this is an old post, but a lot of keyboards have separate backspace and delete buttons (where backspace deletes one character to the left and delete deletes one character to the right), so I think that the “backspace” option should always refer to the key that deletes one character to the left and the “delete” option should always refer to the one that deletes one character to the right, no matter what computer you're on. It would be annoying for Mac users, but at least the two keys could still be separate.

<key [ (join [_] [bakspace])] pressed?>
