Ok, wasn't sure... perhaps Ctrl-[ (front) and Ctrl-] (back). Of course,
Ctrl-[ is the same as ESC, which could be problematic.

Oh... and another note - the delete key should really be delete object... I
don't quite get why it wouldn't be. Yes, single-button altering effect and
all that, but it's one of those things that users just expect to work.
"What do you mean the delete key doesn't delete things?"

I guess I'll go muck around with what the HIG says regarding it. Just seems
silly to me.

And to reply to another message - yes, the fact that a usability website is
so confusing is, well, apropos of a lot of things...
