@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Aug 4, 2025):

This is a known bug: in Dify 1.7.1, both the Backspace and Delete keys are bound to node deletion when no text input is focused, so pressing Backspace will delete a node even though only Delete should do so according to the UI and expected behavior. This logic is in the use-shortcuts.ts hook, where both keys are registered for node/edge deletion if the event target is not an input, textarea, or contentEditable element [source].

If you want to fix this in your deployment, edit web/app/components/workflow/hooks/use-shortcuts.ts and change:

useKeyPress(['delete', 'backspace'], (e) => {
  if (shouldHandleShortcut(e)) {
    e.preventDefault()
    handleNodesDelete()
    handleEdgeDelete()
  }
})

to

useKeyPress(['delete'], (e) => {
  if (shouldHandleShortcut(e)) {
    e.preventDefault()
    handleNodesDelete()
    handleEdgeDelete()
  }
})

This will restrict node deletion to only the Delete key. There is no config option for this; it must be changed in code.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

@crazywoola should we go ahead with removing del key shortcut ?

my opinion: I personally use del key to delete the node
If I as a user is using it then I'm quite sure that other users may also be using del key shortcut to delete node

Backspace* is not the default key reported also in the context menu, I don't see why there should be a hidden secondary keybind that is also known to cause troubles

There is a DEL key in windows computers, however there is no DEL key for macOS.
