Bug: Can't use backspace as a hotkey combination for quick-action shortcuts

[knezmilos13]

Can't use backspace as a hotkey combination for quick-action shortcuts. Using backspace just clears out the "hotkey combination" field.
However, it's possible to still use backspace in a shortcut by manually editing the quickactions.json file and using the "Back" keyword e.g.:

...
{
    "Id": "02931645-0241-45c9-9520-c5d7ce9c10d9",
    "Domain": "Script",
    "Entity": "on_backspace_pressed",
    "Action": "On",
    "HotKeyEnabled": true,
    "HotKey": "Shift, Control, Alt + Back",
    "Description": "Backspace shortcut"
  },
...

This actually works, so the problem seems to be purely on the UI-side. This is how it looks in UI after manual modification:

• Windows build:
  

• HASS.Agent version: 2.1.0

• Installed via installer

• Problem occurs in HASS.Agent

Replicated, thanks for reporting :)
I'll look into if/how this can be fixed.

So, looks like the library that was chosen (and included as dll in the project for some reason?) explicitly treats both backspace and delete as keys to clear the input of potential hotkey.
I'll try to think about a clever solution for this but for now we might be looking at a documentation note in case someone wants to use backspace - @DrR0X-glitch FYi :D

Will definitely add it to the list to add, maybe also needs a quick note in the UI that tells you how to escape? "Press backspace or delete to cancel" would fix that quickly.
