So if I understand right, with the default } behaviour, the first backspace removes the trailing slash in case of } directories, and does nothing if there's no trailing slash. Not quite. If what you are menu-selecting are file names, then there is always either a trailing slash or a trailing space auto-appended. You just can't see the space. So the first backspace is always removing *something*. Sometimes it just removes an invisible thing.
