Conflicting Code

I have a few complex modifications running to navigate around a word(s), select a word(s) and delete a word(s). They look like so:

                    {

                                    {
                                        "key_code": "delete_or_backspace"
                                    }

                                "type": "basic"
                            }
                        ]
                    },

Now the issue is that the Word Deletion manipulator does not work with the letter j. It does work if I change the letter, I just can't seem to understand where the conflict is arising from because the Word Selection Manipulator is working just fine.

When trying to trigger that shortcut, press control first rather than option. Otherwise, "word navigation" will be triggered (option+j). I think this could be solved by moving "word deletion" rule above "word navigation".
