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.
