New key request: delete character to the right

[raveren]

tl;dr: no "delete character to the right" key!

First of all, a sincere heartfelt thank you, this is an amazing project!!!

There are only two regressions left comming from messagease:

1. Drag and save text snippets - no big deal, easy to configure any key to e.g.

topLeft: { text: "raveren@gmail.com", displayText: "🌐" }

2. Efficient deletion of text.

In messagease

1. Right swipe on backspace deletes the character to the right. (the reason for this PR)
2. Right drag and return on backspace deletes the next word, but the great thing about it was that you can keep draging and returning without lifting the finger off the button to keep deleting words, I'll open an another issue about this

Also, is home/end possible?

How about page up/page down?

Swipe right on delete key.

No home / end, or page up / page down. Not really interested in adding these.

Swipe right on delete key.

uh-uh, it's mapped to DeleteWordAfterCursor - as delete character to the right is not an existing keyAction:

Hello! I believe there was a miscomunication, and the issue was closed without intention.

The recent PR which added many new keyActions added the existing backspace under the name delete #1633

So we still don't have a delete next char action, can you re-open this please, I feel like it's a reasonable request...

You'll need to add it yourself, or get @Toldry to do it for you. I don't maintain the unchecked custom layout.
