Hey, I am using code mirror for python, but on pressing **enter after a backspace** (to get out of a particular block). An indentation tab is added again, however, it should have only been an ‘enter’.  
How do I get rid of it?

I don’t think CodeMirror 5 has a way around this. (@codemirror/lang-python for version 6 does handle it, it seems.)

@marijn Is a demo for v6 available somewhere?
