📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesMod-a selection behavior
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Mod+A can still fail when focus is inside a table, preventing users from selecting the block or whole document as intended. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed and covered by regression tests before merging. Suggested reviewers: Poem

TextSelection.between so full-document deletion always leaves exactly one empty
paragraph, including when the document contains an empty checkListItem;
normalize the surviving block after either selection path and add a regression
test covering Mod-a followed by Backspace.

Handle table block content before creating a TextSelection.
When the current block is a table, the range endpoints resolve inside the table node, not an inline-content node. The first Mod-a reaches TextSelection.create, which emits TextSelection endpoint not pointing into a node with inline content. Resolve the first and last table paragraphs, or use a table-specific selection. Add regression coverage for table selection and the leaf-block whole-document fallback.

Summary
This PR adds a proper Mod+A shortcut to select all blocks. Previously, this would defer to browser behaviour as we disable TipTap's own handling with
enableCoreExtensions: false. This causes issues in some cases, like when the first block is a check list item.Additionally, the behaviour is changed slightly. The first Mod+A press selects the full block, and pressing it again selects the whole document.
Closes #2973
