Replace Character: Fix positioning of caret

Before this change the command “Replace Character” would sometimes move
the caret one position to the left. For example, if you insert the text

   a|bc

– `|` represents the position of the caret – and use “Replace
Character (←)”, then the result would look like this

  |👾bc

. Now the result after the steps above is correct:

  👾|bc.
