Hey @PeterHero @LucasXu0, can I work on this?

It appears that the root issue resides in another file standard_block_components.dart within the AppFlowy-IO/appflowy-editor repository. The missing command handler for 'Shift+Backspace' in the list standardCommandShortcutEvents seems to be the problem, leading to its neglect by the Flutter app.

I would like to suggest a quick and effective solution: assigning the same Backspace handler in backspace_command.dart to another command shortcut event named 'deleteLeftCharacterCommand'. By doing this, we can ensure that the deletion functionality works seamlessly, resolving the reported bug.
