 In every editor on Windows, if you have two consecutive paragraphs and you
 press Delete at the end of the first one, the paragraphs are merged. In
 WordPress it does not work.

 Also Backspace behave wrongly - if you have e.g **empty** Header and then
 Paragraph and you click Backspace at the beginning of the paragraph, it
 merges content with the Header, so the result will be the Header with the
 content of previous paragraph. All windows editors in history will delete
 empty header in that case and the result would be the original paragraph.

 These two erroneous behaviors are for me the biggest annoyance of the
 Gutenberg editor, because they are quite common in other editors and here
 it suddenly behaves differently and one has to look for some other
 shortcuts or reach for the mouse.
