backspacing
Erasing typed characters
Backspacing is moving the cursor backward to delete characters, typically one at a time.
The term comes from typewriters, where the backspace key moved the carriage back one space without erasing.
On computers, backspacing usually deletes as it goes: I noticed the typo and started backspacing to fix it.
