Would it be possible to add a shortcut (eg: Cmd-Backspace) to delete the
selected Autocomplete (after hitting the Down arrow key) in the Location Bar

You can delete your history from Prefs>Navigation>History>Clear Visited Pages.
Is that sufficient?

Would this be best done on Mozilla first as a proof-of-concept?

It looks like bug 87098 may be the Mozilla equivalent.

Actually, it DOES work for the most part - as long as the first search item that
comes up isn't selected! (Which is interesting.)

Sorry guys, I'm an idiot - I meant this for another bug, and I don't know how it
got over on this one. Can moderators delete this?
