That didn't seem to help. I tried overriding selectedRanges, and that makes you delete the whole range when you are clicked in it (good), but nothing seems to help the case of trying to simply backspace from the end of the range. In this case the selected range is not relevant because you are not inside the range yet as far as the existing range, and you can't predict in advance the user intends to backspace into it, and for the same reason, neither is the rangeForUserTextChange.

I don't think you really want to override that method. Instead override -[NSTextView selectionRangeForProposedRange:granularity:] which should be called for every selection the user makes.
