Swipe up (and up-left) on delete key to select text vertically across lines, accelerate deleting when held

Hello, thank you so much for this amazing app! I would like to suggest 3 (or 2) features related to backspace/delete button:

When swiping up on it, the cursor should move vertically upward line by line (similar to pressing the up arrow key), and everything between the cursor's original position and its new position should get selected automatically as it moves up. Instead of only deleting one character at a time by swiping left, swiping up would let the user quickly delete a whole block of text spanning multiple lines above the cursor, based on how far up they swipe.

Additionally, if it's possible to also make it when swiping up-left to a certain angle (so it's not just a regular left swipe), the cursor could move both up and left at the same time, allowing the selection to follow a roughly vertical path and making the selection/deletion of text even faster than swiping straight up alone.

As a reference, this app already has a similar mechanism through the combination of the "Touchpad" and "Select mode" toolbar keys (free cursor movement combined with automatic selection), maybe that same underlying logic could be applied directly through the delete key gesture, instead of requiring the separate touchpad UI. Here's a video:

Also another suggestion is that when the delete/backspace key is simply pressed and held (no swipe involved), it would be great if the deletion speed gradually accelerated the longer it's held, instead of staying at a constant rate the whole time.
