it still means that the first time you want to run "kons" after having run 
"konsole" you have to press "Delete" ... NOT Backspace, as that will leave you 
with "ko", then you type the 'n' and you get "kon(sole)" all over again. this 
is the confusing part and why i really think that despite everythign else 
(including short automatic) that backspace should equal delete here.

my rational for that is this: the text caret is at the *end* of the phrase:

"kon(sole)|"

pressing backspace should delete what is to the left of the caret, but it 
doesn't. it deletes the 'n'.

so imho what should happen is that the caret should either remain at the typed 
text:

"kon|(sole)"

or backspace should be equivalent to delete.
