Comment (by tangobravo):

 Keeping just the Ctrl-Alt shortcut makes sense to me. I haven't played
 with a Haiku revision that has the resizing feature yet, so I'm not sure
 what it looks like, but I think the edge highlighting should be subtle -
 people are unlikely to stumble across the functionality so will already
 know where to be looking for feedback.

 If the edge highlighting is subtle then I don't see novice users being
 confused when heading for the delete key. Even if they don't know what the
 highlighting means I think they'd still go ahead and press delete anyway
 and get the expected response.
