On Mac Devices, the combination to delete a whole line is Command + Backspace. It used to delete a whole page, but that bug has been fixed and now it does nothing. Can you please fix this.

Something I'd like to add here is the "Option + Delete" shortcut on Mac that's used to delete just a single word as mentioned below. The default Mac functionality is to preserve the space to left of the word you just deleted, but in capacities it also deletes the space. Here's an example:
I think it might be a Windows thing as the only other place I see this happen is Outlook 🤷♂️
I'll admit it's a small one, but I find it can get in the way of my writing sometimes. My fingers as so accustom to that shortcut I will delete the word then keep typing, only to find there isn't a space between the new word. So I press the shortcut again, and now I've deleted two words and lost my train of thought.
If you're able to look into this while working on the line delete, that would be much appreciated 🙏 Thank you!

When cursor is not in text, command + backspace can be used to delete the whole page (current entity).
We have not yet implemented the feature to delete a whole line when working in text as we still have to figure out a method to determine where a line starts using the available Web APIs. A simple version would be to delete a whole paragraph. Would that also be acceptable, Zack Yebh?

michael_v_h: Thank you for getting back to me quicker that I could do.
I think maybe you misunderstand me. Let me clear up in more details.
In both cases I mentioned above, the mouse cursor was in a text field. Comparable to the way functionality on a windows machine, where [ctrl+ backspace] deletes 1 whole word currently to the left of the cursor in any text input, a [command + backspace] delete all characters to the left side of the cursor on the current line. This basic functionality which would work in any text input is somehow being hindered.

michael_v_h: Hi Micheal. I wanted to add that the copy paste function isn't working on my macos. Also I move the cursor to the beginning of a line, you can no longer use the right arrow key to move the cursor.
