Block split and merge #167
Description
When a user presses return the block should split in two at the cursor. Similarly, backspace at the beginning of a block should merge it with the previous block (or forward delete at the end of a block)
There are some extra rules for this so double check what Gutenberg does and follow the same patterns. I don't think we have to worry about many of those yet since we only support a few block types, but one that I've identified so far is:
-
When you press return, the newly created block will be a paragraph, unless it's a multiline block (I think we only have
codein the alpha). -
Merge the content (or return false to let Aztec native to handle the backspace)
-
Merge 2 blocks of different types
-
Resize after block splitting
-
Fix problem with content lost on merging
-
Fix delayed updated from native side (not completely related to this feature, but we need it)
-
Focus is moved to the wrong block after merging/splitting (We may need to wait until focus problems are resolved)
-
On blocks merging, should we add a white space character before the content of the 2nd block? (if necessary). Otherwise there is a situation where the last word of the first block, and the first word of the 2nd block, are merged together firing up the spell checker inline suggestions. -

Codeblock in regard to enter and backspace -
Using backspace while the first word is highlighted should not merge the 2 blocks, only remove the currently selected word. It's working as expected on Android, but iOS does merge the 2 blocks. [iOS] Fix Pressing backspace when the first word of a Para block is selected #325
