added functionalities for mac's opt+backspace and cmd+backspace
Implemented the two above mentioned functionalities Important Note: the cmd backspace also activates windows control shift, which is the usual shortcut for switch language window. One can solve this by diabling this or moving it to alt shift, which would actually remap this shortcut to its original physical keys.
Hope this helps

thank you both for your work here, this is a huge quality of life improvement! I have shared this in the AHK discord, I'm so surprised there isn't a gold standard mac remapping after all these years, I would expect it to be the primary use case for AHK.
I did some light testing of the changes here, it works well most of the time but when holding win followed by repeated backspace presses, at some point it only deletes the previous character instead of the whole word as expected. it's quite inconsistent and doesn't fail predictably after the first backspace, sometimes it fails after 2-3 backspaces. if you release and repress win and then backspace it works fine, it's the repeated backspace presses that fail

These changes are really useful! Binding backslash/pipe to Enter surprised me though, and I'm not clear on the rationale for that. I type a lot of backslashes.
