Editing with a Bluetooth keyboard

[frisket]

I use a Bluetooth hardware keyboard on my Note 4 when I am dealing with email while travelling (eg plane, train), which is why I picked AquaMail because in replies, it properly inserts > characters in front of the original message text.

What's missing from the editor, however, seems to be any kind of keyboard control except up/down/left/right. Is there a way to delete whole lines without having to fiddle with the on-screen highlight widget, which is horribly difficult to control. Just a simple Ctrl-K or similar would do.

The editor is a standard Android UI element (to which I added rich text editing)... Feel free to submit your suggestion at http://b.android.com...

Do you know if the editor's UI is documented anywhere? Maybe it has keystrokes...
