Bug Description

In a document with a title and several blocks:
Sometimes, not always pressing down from the title goes to the end of the second block below instead of start of the next block below
In a multi line block (lines separated by Shift+Enter)
Home Key navigates to start of the block instead of start of the line
It is not possible to delete a line block (a block that has been converted from several dash to a line) by just highlighting the block and pressing the delete key (but backspace key works correctly)
Control-A always selects the entire document whereas it should cycle between select block, then on second press, select all document.
Control+Left Arrow does not work when caret is at start of a block (should navigate to end of line of previous block)
In a multi-line block (lines separated by Shift+Enter), when caret is at the start of a line, it control+Left Arrow goes before last word of the previous line instead of end of line. Similarly Control+Right goes to second word of next line instead of start of next line.
(Sometimes, not always), when typing a command beginning with /, control+Backspace does not work

@Techognito commented on GitHub (Sep 26, 2025):

while not directly when editing it's still keyboard navigation related:

ctrl+period (.) and ctrl+\ is both opening and closing the sidebar, and there is no way to change/reassign the close sidebar shortcut
