I am searching for an explanation, in Adobe's official Photoshop vocabulary, of what the Alt + Delete + Backspace command does in the following sequence. I've searched Adobe and the net and cannot find it. Can anyone give me a reference for this?

From this Adobe help document: Default keyboard shortcuts in Adobe Photoshop​:
Honestly, I'm not sure the second backspace is necessary, since Alt + Backspace fills the selection with the foreground color, which is, I believe, what you're after. I know there was a bug in CC2018 which necessitated the second backspace, but that was corrected in an update.

Interesting technique.
I followed the instructions up to Select > Inverse.
I made the selected layer a floating layer and placed the transparent layer under it, selected it, then Opt/Alt Backspace to get the result.
Mainly because the Mac just has a Delete key.

I need to correct what I just stated for 2012 Macbook Pro laptops.
On the Mac, the Delete key acts like the Windows Backspace key where the character to the left is removed.
However pressing Fn + Delete on the Mac causes the Delete key to act like the Delete key in Windows where the character to the right is removed for each key combo press.
There are differences depending on model year and keyboard configuration, but the equivalent of the Windows Backspace and Delete keys are there.
