Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I am considering terminal simulation as an option, but there is not exactly a 
standard to emulate.  \b originally meant the same as the typewrite backspace 
and modern US computer keyboard left arrow key <- (move cursor left without 
erasing), which would result in 'delete filed' in insert mode, but sometimes 
now is interpreted the same as modern US computer keyboard backspace (erase and 
move left), as you expect.
