Override the Backspace key, not just the Delete key, as Mac keyboards have Backspace as the only delete key and label it Delete.
Source of key value: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/key/Key_Values#Editing_keys
More background on Mac keyboard shortcuts: Mac keyboards can emulate Delete using fn+Delete, meaning Forward Delete, but Mac software does not use it except in text editing. When deletion is dangerous, Mac software requires holding a modifier key in conjuction with Delete, but I think it’s better to make deletion easy in this case.
This new binding has a potential downside: if the user Backspace key normally goes Back in history (which can differ across OSs and browsers), this will change the behavior to delete the selected element instead. If the user really wants to go back in history, they will have to press Escape to leave the mode and then press Backspace, or they will have to press an alternative keyboard shortcuts such as Alt+Left. I think the user will rarely want to go back in history in the middle of picking an element, though.
That downside could be mitigated by conditioning the key check on `runtime.PlatformOs` (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/runtime/PlatformOs). But that would complicate the code a lot compared to the importance of this feature, and such detection would still fail to capture the user’s intent accurately in all cases. I think it’s better to unconditionally accept both Backspace (Delete) and Delete (Forward Delete).
No need to store mouse coordinates in background
page, thus no need to post mouse coordinates
information for every click.
Rename/group element picker arguments and popup
arguments separately.

Make the element picker better reflect network filters as
parsed by the static network filtering engine. Additionally,
discard single alphanumeric character-based filters.

Inject newly created cosmetic filters into the DOM
filterer, in order for these filters to be enforced by
the DOM filterer in subsequent dynamic DOM changes.

Fixed:
- Expect the differ can return the first input as is when
there is no difference between the two items.
- Better deal with extraneous whitespaces in `srcset`

The issue fixes previewing the hiding/unhiding of targeted
elements in the element picker.
However it does not address the case of previewing
`:style(...)` operators -- this would require a much
more complex fix, which I am not sure is worth the
amount of work and increased code complexity.

A new advanced settings has been added: `autoCommentFilterTemplate`.
Default value is `{{date}} {{origin}}`.
Placeholders are identified by `{{...}}`. There are currently
only three placeholders supported:
- `{{date}}`: will be replaced with current date
- `{{time}}`: will be replaced with current time
- `{{origin}}`: will be replaced with site information on which
the filter(s) was created
If no placeholder is found in `autoCommentFilterTemplate`, this
will disable auto-commenting. So one can use `-` to disable
auto-commenting.
Additionally, if auto-commenting is enabled, uBO will not emit a
comment if an emitted comment would be a duplicate of the last
one found in the user filter list.
Use class(es) whenever available instead of the id when selecting a
broad cosmetic filter (ctrl-click).
When asking for a broad cosmetic filter, using the id instead of
whatever available class(es) is limiting usefulness. The change
here address this.

Now how to remove all signature widgets from all posts?
Without the change here, this was not possible without opening the
browser's inspector, finding out and manually typing whatever class
is used to identify the signature's root element.
With this commit, ctrl-click will now use whatever class information
exist instead of the id.
