We know that just an arrow for backspace will work but until I start working on the lower case letters, I don't really know how the spacing will work out with an arrow and a text legend. 'Bs' would be a mildly provocative/amusing option perhaps.
I think having it labeled delete would make more since if we had 1U Alt keys and 1.5U Meta/Super keys, then it is consistently following the official HHKB legends. As it isn't followed on the bottom-row modifiers I don't think we should follow it on Backspace.
I don't think anyone here uses Backspace as Delete and I think keys should be labeled according to their function. I know nothing is final yet, just want to share the opinion now rather than later.
Also if we decide to abbreviate
Backspace I think
Bksp would be the better choice (more similar to how
Control is abbreviated
Ctrl).
My suggestion if it isn't too much work is to make three versions:
And decide which one to use based on the responses that comes up.
