You don't need to clear the whole string. You can position your cursor using
the arrow keys (cursor back and cursor forward only, since cursor up/down
will take you to the next/previous field - or the other way around). The
arrow keys are nondestructive and allow you to change the drive spec
without killing the whole line. It's not very elegant (as a matter of fact
I hate it) but it's possible.
