Backspace Key Highlight-to-Delete

Slide Backspace to Highlight and Delete Text

When you slide the backspace key to the left, it will highlight your selected amount of text and delete that selection.

If you’d prefer to change the backspace key behavior, you can do so by going to Settings -> Keyboard & Typing -> Long-Press Keys & Spacebar -> Backspace behavior when holding/swiping. You can set the backspace key to either delete individual characters or delete entire words.
