This might look a bit weird for some OS users but if you want to influence Emacs key chord behaviour implementation for the DEL key, now is the time to get involved. I quote partially from the post by Dr. Richard Stallman
In Emacs 24, now in pretest, a change is being considered for ASCII DEL (on most keyboards, the Backspace key) and the Delete function key. The change affects the case of an active region that was not dragged with the mouse. The change is that these commands would delete the region, rather than just one character as now.
