Feature Request: Hold Backspace deletes word

[etwasanderes2]

Samsung keyboard currently operates the following way:

If you hold down backspace, it starts deleting letters repeatedly and eventually switches to deleting whole words. This makes it difficult to control exactly how much you delete. 

Suggested behaivior:

When backspace is held for some time, start deleting whole words. This is identical to how swift key does it. This allows for much more precise control over the amount of text deleted and makes the "delete previos word" operation possible.

Since you do not want to disrupt existing user flow, this may be best enabled by a setting.

Thanks. I got this error message during my first two attempts, but the third one went through.

Any updates? This is the reason I am using GBoard by Google, it has the option to delete worden by swiping the backspace to the left

I have switched to keyboard designer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.humbergsoftware.keyboarddesigner).
