Daniel's writing flow observations

[danielbachhuber]

Using this as a tracking issue for writing flow quirks I observe:

• Heading unexpectedly loses formatting when copy and pasting #48040
• Gallery Block: Difficult to "Add image" when existing image is selected #47200
• List: Hitting delete at the beginning of the last list item doesn't exit the block #53195
• Not possible to tab back into the title field after tabbing out of it #53202
• Enable formatting text highlighted over two paragraphs #40907

@jordesign let's reserve overview for breakdowns of larger initiatives. @ellatrix for considering these writing flow issues!

@annezazu One exercise that might be helpful to embark upon at some point: compare and document Block Editor writing flow against Google Docs, Microsoft Word, etc. It seems like we could crowdsource this pretty easily. Even if we choose not to address the gaps, I think it'd be helpful to have them documented.

@danielbachhuber Been dreaming about that! Some sort of editing standard spec, maybe even in the form of e2e tests (that could potentially be run on any web editor).

@danielbachhuber I'm going to close this issue in favour of #63255, where I added the remaining open items (except for #53195, which needs a bigger discussion).

@ellatrix Sounds great, thanks!
