Description

When I have an open view of Whiteboard (v1.0.4) in my Nextcloud AIO instance (server v30.0.2) and I want to delete text with CTRL + Delete, instead of the text in the text field, the file is deleted. This leads to nasty 4xx errors.

Imo this should not happen, as file operations should not take place when editing the file. I would rather have the option of deleting entire words, as it is common in other applications.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shortcut in an open Whiteboard view using Whiteboard v1.0.4 with Nextcloud AIO server v30.0.2, then trace the handlers for CTRL+Delete in the text field and file deletion. Done means CTRL+Delete removes the intended text or words without deleting the file or causing 4xx errors.
