title: Can't get backspace to work in codemirror, under Phonegap on Android 4.x?
body: <p>I need a web-based text/code editor that behaves well, for my App.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to use codemirror under Phonegap and currently I'm having problems getting backspace to work for previously entered text. This is a huge problem for my use case. Now I've had a look around and it seems like it's not a direct codemirror problem, but rather the android and virtual keyboard malarkey, see this question: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14560344/android-backspace-in-webview-baseinputconnection/">Android: Backspace in WebView/BaseInputConnection</a></p>
  
  <p>I'm using Phonegap version 2.6.0, latest codemirror version (as of last night) and testing on Android 4.2.2. This seems to be specific to WebView on Android, could anyone verify that's not an issue on iOS?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not averse to doing some Java code to rectify the problem, but I'm not sure how to 'hook' into the cordova's implementation of WebView, as all the code that's exposed to me consists of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.mycompany.MyAppName;
  
  import android.os.Bundle;
  import org.apache.cordova.*;
  
  public class MyAppName extends DroidGap{
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
          super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
          // Set by &lt;content src="index.html" /&gt; in config.xml
          super.loadUrl(Config.getStartUrl());
          //super.loadUrl("file:///android_asset/www/index.html")
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>unless I'm supposed to look into Cordovas source tree. Essentially what I want to know is how I can implement the solution at the link above in my case. Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
