Hello there,

I noticed that shift ALPHA backspace would behave as if ALPHA wasn't locked, and would delete lines in bulk.

This behaviour is quite irritating to me, as it frequently happens that entire lines get deleted by accident.
I would personally prefer it if this behaviour was only present when shift is physically held and not based on whether you're typing capital letters.

Does anyone else feel like this would be beneficial to the ease of use of the Python editor ?
I believe achieving this may be possible, as if I recall correctly, this was standard behaviour on the stock firmware that is Epsilon.

I've tested on the Epsilon simulator and it's behave differently than Upsilon. Confirmed.
Omega does the same thing than Upsilon so i think that this 'bug' was from Omega change and not an Upsilon change

I don't know if it is a bug or a feature, but this behavior is quite annoying... For me, Epsilon's behavior is better.
