Now that Compose Web is in Beta, are there any plans to allow deleting characters while holding down the shift key? I think it would help it'd really help the user experience with any CMP Web app that involves typing.

Another thing that's sorta on my wish list, is that native web apps allow you to start typing as soon as the tab is opened (such as any search engine or ai chatbot website). I haven't figured out a way to do this with CMP Web that doesn't involve getting the user to mouse click on the page first.

As for your second question, I haven’t tried it myself but you should be able to request the focus programmatically.

It was a while since I tried it, but I did try programatic requesting focus.

So I can say have it focus on the keyboard input section whenever the user types, but only after the user clicks any element of the page.

The problem is still that it requires that initial click on the page. Native web apps don't require this initial click.
