Direction is not important, but it's important where you start selection.

If you start selection in one cell and finish in another cell, this is a

multicell selection (even if all cells in the table are selected).

When you press DELETE, cells are cleared.

If you start selection to the right/left of the table and finish to the

left/right of it, the whole table will be selected.

When you press DELETE, table will be deleted.

If something goes wrong, please explain how to reproduce (step by step).

DELETE does not generate OnKeyPress. But it generates OnKeyDown and OnKeyUp
