After holding delete for a moment, whole words are deleted instead of single characters, with adjustable speed and acceleration. One haptic/audio feedback per deleted word. Not used for languages without spaces. Off by default. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VuiaMhLXwhErf9shhrr1uD

Thank you for the clean implementation and unit test coverage! Word deletion on held backspace is a convenient feature, but in its current form, adding two separate preference sliders (start interval and acceleration) introduces significant settings clutter. As part of our project focus to prevent settings bloat, we prefer sensible, well-tuned defaults rather than exposing granular configuration sliders to the user. Would you be open to simplifying this to a single toggle with fixed, optimal timing curves (no extra sliders)? |

Done: simplified to a single toggle with a fixed timing curve, the speed and acceleration sliders are removed. |

When enabled, holding the delete key switches from deleting characters to deleting whole words after a moment, getting faster the longer it is held.
