## Message

```
editor: Fix DeleteToPreviousSubwordStart and DeleteToNextSubwordEnd interaction with newlines  (#46235)

Closes #40110

  Changes:
- `DeleteToPreviousSubwordStart` now deletes `\n` separately from
preceding subwords and whitespace.
- `DeleteToNextSubwordEnd` now deletes `\n` and any following whitespace
separately from subsequent subwords.
- Added an `ignore_newlines` flag to both actions to optionally retain
the old behavior.

These modifications align the subword commands with their word
counterparts and with other popular editors like VSCode and Sublime.

Related to: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16848

  Release Notes:

- Improved `DeleteToPreviousSubwordStart` and `DeleteToNextSubwordEnd`
interactions around newlines. You can opt-in into the previous behavior
by adding `{"ignore_newlines": true}` to either action's binds in your
keymap.
