It used to be until a couple versions ago that Delete only deleted a
character, and Ctrl-D was used for deleting objects.  However, enough
people complained about this that we decided to change it to the way it is
now, well knowing that the problem you describe would also come up.  What
we need is having text editing and objects editing somewhat more
separated, something I'm (slowly) working on.

I say dee-ah with the stress on the first syllable.  That has no basis in
how anybody else pronounces it.
