How to re-enable backspace key in Javascript

Question

I am using keypress event to disable backspace key when <body contenteditable="true"> for selected text. After selecting text the backspace key is disabled properly. But, de-selecting text backspace key remain disabled. How do I re-enable backspace key in JavaScript?

CODE:

document.getElementById("cke_bdy").addEventListener("keypress", function(e) {
    var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
    if (code === 46 || code === 8) {
        flag = false;
        e.preventDefault();
        return false;
    }
}, false);

Attach an onblur event to the textarea with the inverse of the code used to disable the backspace key.

If the backspace key is disabled by searching for the key's ID and calling preventDefault(), remove the listener within the onblur event.
