Initial Comment:
this is a commonly used short cut for
'delete from cursor to begin of word'.

OmegaT should support this.

Thank you. 
Stefan

Fixed in CVS.

On a Mac, the modifier key for these functions is not Cmd, but Alt.

Interesting... In Word: Alt+ del fwd does not work/Alt+del backward
deletes the word to its beginning. And the Cmd+del fwd/bkw produces the
unexpected "expected" behavior...

Standards aside, what do you use in Word to delete next/previous word?

It's possible Cmd/Ctrl + delete key do not send any code (which would
explain why it doesn't work).

It might perhaps be worth trying a (horrible) 
If on Mac, then 
and test Alt + delete/backspace

(OT: hum, Word is not a Mac application :) Even the latest version does
not respect most of the Mac GUI guidelines or uses the OS provided
services...)

In standard Mac apps, it seems that Alt+ either key deletes to the
end/beginning of word from point. Cmd or Ctrl do not affect the 2 delete
keys.

<<neither Ctrl, not CMD or Alt + any of the two backspace or delete does
anything>>

Do they do anything in a Mac application (e.g., Word)?
If yes, which key does what?

I just renamed the RFE and put it in the bug tracker.

Now that you mention it, I just verified that the shortcuts don' work in
Mac: neither Ctrl, not CMD or Alt + any of the two backspace or delete does
anything...

Close, because it is already implemented:
- Ctrl+Delete, Ctrl+Backspace, and overwriting with Ctrl+i
