Subject: [PATCH] feat(text-tool): add Delete/Backspace key to remove empty
 text objects
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Users can now delete text objects by:
1. Click on a text to edit it
2. Clear all text content (or start with empty text)
3. Press Delete or Backspace to remove the entire text object

This provides an intuitive way to remove unwanted text without requiring
a separate delete tool or context menu.

Keyboard shortcuts:
- Ctrl+Enter: Commit text
- Escape: Cancel editing
- Delete/Backspace (on empty text): Delete entire text object
