Enhance Ctrl Key Cell Editing

This feature request is for editing cells.

Currently when editing cells, pressing Ctrl + Arrow key will move the cursor by a whole word in the specified direction of the arrow key.

But pressing Ctrl + Backspace to delete the previous word or Ctrl + Delete to delete the next word do not work.

This is standard behavior with Windows and the other text boxes in the Smartsheet interface already do this.

Perhaps this should be a bug report then.

I first encountered the issue back in 2017 when I used Smartsheet for a little while. So I didn't think that this was a bug because I'm having the same problem on a different computer 8 years later. This is the same account.

Current system details:

Windows 11 Pro, 10.0.26100 Build 26100

Chrome, 142.0.7444.176

I do not have any extensions installed in Chrome.

Allow users to "request access" to a Dynamic View, like with other Workspace items
It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
