Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/75

Originally assigned to: @LucasXu0, @MayurSMahajan on GitHub.

Describe the bug
Pressing Ctrl + Backspace does nothing, when it should delete a word.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go and create a page
Type a couple words inside, delimited by spaces
Press Ctrl + Backspace
Nothing happens

Expected behavior
A word to be deleted, Ctrl + Right/LeftArrow navigates 'by word' as well, so I suppose this is a bug.

Screenshots

For example, Ctrl + Backspace here should delete a "sdf", but does nothing

We have not supported keyboard shortcut, which is in development, so this could be the cause

Is this something that can be easily enabled by configuring flutter-quill editor?

I can look into if it's not too complicated – I haven't used rust or flutter aside of hello world

@gianpaj Given our evaluation of the work, this isn't a challenging issue. We think it's suitable for devs with some experience. If you would like to give it a try, that would be awesome.

On a similar vein, the home and end keys don't work on Windows.

Using Ctrl-Backspace and navigation with home and end, especially for selection and deletion, is a fairly commonly used keyboard shortcut, the addition of which would result in a nice QOL change.

In addition, I am on mac, and option backspace should delete a single word, and command backspace should delete to the start of the line.
