The backspace key now deletes the character which is immediately before the cursor. This means that when the cursor is on the first column of a line, then the character deleted is the End-of-Line character of the line above; effectively joining the current line to the end of the previous line. The exception is that if the cursor is also on the first line, in which case nothing happens.
