Backspace should overtype in overtype mode

[nokola]

In markdown tables, when I press backspace in overtype mode, it acts the same as Insert Mode, deleting and messing format on the right of the cursor.

| Property                      | *Old Epx@480 Width* | *New (Phone)* |
|-------------------------------|---------------------|---------------|
| Width/Height/size             | 80                  | 50            |
| Width/Height/size             | 90                  | 60            |

e.g. try editing the "90" above in overtype mode:

1. type "1" on top of the zero
2. Press Backspace. Expected: The "1" is replaced with space:

| Property                      | *Old Epx@480 Width* | *New (Phone)* |
|-------------------------------|---------------------|---------------|
| Width/Height/size             | 80                  | 50            |
| Width/Height/size             | 9                   | 60            |

Actual: the "1" is deleted messing with the format of the markdown table

| Property                      | *Old Epx@480 Width* | *New (Phone)* |
|-------------------------------|---------------------|---------------|
| Width/Height/size             | 80                  | 50            |
| Width/Height/size             | 9                  | 60            |

Edit: just want to mention - great job on this extension! Much needed 👍

This would be amazing!

I love the idea of this extension, but I don't find it particularly usable without treating backspace as overtype, as requested above.

I second the request by @chrismarch @flyinbutrs and @nokola - backspace should also be mangled to work as expected in overtype mode. Otherwise, you have to switch back and forth between these modes which feels a bit clumsy.

Please add a Settings option for "Backspace as Undo in Overtype mode" - so when in Overtype mode, hitting Backspace would simply undo the last character insertion, which would leave the line structure/spacing undisturbed.
