@miiizen backspace isn't doing anything for me in the latest build here - it still just leaves the cursor on the current empty lyric

@avvvvve Is there a shortcuts.xml file in /Users/username/Library/Application Support/MuseScore/MuseScore4Development/? If so, try after deleting it.

@cbjeukendrup are we missing a way to add new shortcuts if a user has customised theirs already?
I seem to remember this coming up before.
