Re: [editing-explainer] How does cE=typing work with overtype (insert key is on) (#28)

I'm starting to think that simple delete operations should be handled in cE=typing. This may be true for the DEL/BACKSPACE keys as well. It is a matter of defining the cases that can be handled.

Much probably the case is pretty simply: collapsed selection next to a character (present in next or following text nodes). If any element is in the path, nothing happens but the intention event is fired anyway, allowing js to (1) move the selection to an appropriate place where the browser can perform deletion or (2) perform the deletion by itself.
