not in general they are not.

on this keyboard they are tiny keys off by the cursor keys.  i have to
look to be sure i get them when wanted.

i have other keyboards where one must press a function key to access
those two at all.  meaing always a two-hand requirement.  quite hard
post-stroke.

space and backspace, otoh, are always easy to use.

(<backspace>, of course, translates to <DEL>, where <delete> translates
to <deletechar>; and it has been decades since i've seen/used a keyboard
which labels the ascii 0x7F key "Delete" rather than "Backspace"; so the
doc really ought to be Space/Backspace these days.)
