The "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts" tab in System Settings could include the
ability to swap the Alt keys with Backspace and Delete. (And I'm sure
some people would like the ability to swap Caps Lock with Ctrl, too.)

Right now if I click "+" in that tab, I get a "Custom Shortcut" dialog
with a "Command" field. I have no idea what I'm supposed to type in there.
