Backwards deletion of newline plus character fails (e.g. "\nh") about elm-rte-toolkit

That's cool that you solved your particular issue 👍 , it seems like different versions of contenteditable handle newline characters in pre elements in different ways. I don't know your exact requirements, but you may also be able to avoid the issue in a similar way line break element instead of using a newline wrapped in a span.
I'll close this ticket for now. Thanks for reporting the issue!

Actually, it seems to work in Firefox, but not in Safari or Chrome.

I solved this by creating a new inline leaf node that is just an empty span containing a newline ("\n"). Here is an updated Ellie with the solution. This worked for me in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

I wonder if it would be better to make RichText.Commands.insertNewline work this way, too? If so, I would be happy to open a PR to do so!

I'll leave this open for the moment in case that would be useful, or else feel to close the issue—my particular problem has been solved.
