Description

This PR addresses issue #480 by extracting the complex backspace and deletion logic from GeneralKeyboardIME into a dedicated BackspaceHandler class

Changes:

• Created BackspaceHandler.kt to encapsulate:
    Single character deletion.
    Word-by-word deletion logic.
    Command bar specific deletion.
    Repeating delete state management.
  

• Refactored GeneralKeyboardIME.kt to delegate deletion tasks to the new handler.
  

• Updated visibility of necessary internal IME properties to allow access by the handler.
  

Benefits:

• Reduces GeneralKeyboardIME file size by ~200 lines.
  

• Improves readability by separating deletion logic from service lifecycle.
  

• Makes deletion logic easier to unit test in isolation.
  

Testing:

• Verified standard backspace works.
  

• Verified "word-by-word" deletion setting works.
  

• Verified backspace behavior inside the Scribe Command Bar (Translate/Conjugate modes).
  

• Verified long-press repeating deletion.
