[Feature Request]: Pressing Del on a Table View cell should empty it

[mwhouser]

Description

Select a cell on a Table View. Pressing "Del" should empty the cell.

• Text field should remove the text
• Selects/Multi-selects should remove all selected options
• Date should clear the date

Use case

Speed.

Emptying many fields in a populated Table View requires extra clicks and keyboard presses otherwise.

Anything else?

This is already implemented using the Backspace key. Select one or more cells, then press "Backspace" and the content will be removed.

OK. I can confirm Backspace works.

But, IMO, Del should do it too. It's a more natural key to press for me.

@darkskygit What do you think? I can implement this, it should be easy to reuse the existing Backspace behaviour.

I think this behavior is reasonable; excel and notion have the same behavior for the del key in cells.

Great, I'll implement it and submit a PR shortly.
