} Ok, thank you for the answer. 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.
