* Only treat filter edit keys as edits when they change the text

Backspace/Ctrl+U on an empty filter no longer calls setFilter(""),
which was resetting the list selection back to the top. This also lets
the menu's empty-filter Backspace fall through to goBack() with any
modifier held, as it did before the Util extraction.
