Backspace should just always be backspace

Project Member Reported by pcovell@chromium.org, Oct 9

Issue description

Currently, it just shows keyboard controls.  Sometimes a suggestion is chosen at a glance incorrectly, and going back should not require retyping the word.  Happens commonly during cujos.

fusong@, needs UI input, perhaps related to other controls UI questions ( issue 893761 ).

Maybe dup or related to bug 377182

This is not doable for M71, we need to wait for the new InputLogic

Summary: Backspace should just always be backspace (was: Selecting a suggestion and then clicking backspace should show suggestions again)
Actually, this needs a UI fix first -- in particular, it's really annoying that hitting backspace doesn't actually delete the character, but instead switches modes.  

We have to find a way for backspace to always delete the character and still allow mode change.  

Song, can you put this top of your list?  thx.

If we can find a workable solution, I'd like to try for it in 71, but let's see how we go.  I hit this all the time when writing an email, and it's a big productivity hit.
since we don't support search in chrome keyboard, I suggest we can have access point icons in header once has prediction candidates which I allow backspace always be backspace, let me create mock tomorrow
