How to detect the event when user pressed "BackSpace"?

I just created a short script to add right side bracket and quotation automatically, and now I'm wondering if the redundant char could be deleted at the same time after I pressed the "BackSpace" in the middle of a double quotation or brackets.

Seems there are no such event was exposed to pnpy right now... At least I'm failed to find one.

And another thought is, if there is a onKeyDown event or some thing like that to allow me to detect combination key action (such as ctrl+enter, alt+enter, etc...), that will be very useful!

Hi, sorry I forgot to answer this. In scripts there's currently no way to track the backspace key as the only editor event hooked up is the character added one. You could make a C++ extension to do this as you could then subclass the editor to get the notifications you wanted.
