Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
From a team review of the Keyman for Android UX (https://github.com/keymanapp/keyman/issues/7161)
If you move the caret to the middle of a word, and then accept a suggestion, it should replace the whole word. Currently, it replaces left of the caret, but leaves the following text dangling, which is messy.

Per @jahorton: We tried this once: #4541
* Android was fully supported! But…
* iOS incompatible for now due to bugs on Apple’s end, unfortunately.
* Trying to do this for just one of the two is quite tricky.

When instantiating Keyman Engine for Web, we could include a capabilities flag to tell it whether or not we support right-delete, and then bracket the fix from #4541 with that.
