I am on macos 11.2.2

"tcell.KeyBackspac" is not hit?

inputForm := tview.NewForm()
inputForm.SetInputCapture(func(event *tcell.EventKey) *tcell.EventKey {
		if event.Key() == tcell.KeyBackspace {
			// Not hit?
			return nil
		}

Keyboard <Shift+Tab> hits tcell.KeyTab but not tcell.KeyBacktab

I found that it is only in the goland debugger console, it works in the compiled binary.

It must be within golang, therefore I will close this again.
