If there is concern that this changes the default "go back a page" 
behavior of the backspace key, maybe we should use the browser detection 
to figure out what platform the user is using, and only add

    case Event.KEY_BACKSPACE:

if they user is on a mac (where the "delete" key apparently sends backspace)
