I would say, you could probably accomplish this functionality by handling keydown event on the input text. If it's backspace, grab the value, parse it, remove the set of characters that needs to be removed, and set the value of the input to whatever you have left.

The only thing is, you would probably need to watch for where the cursor is inside the input text.
