Is it really necessary to provide text selection across blocks? It sounds very complicated to achieve and I'm not sure how useful it actually is. This editor is block-based so not being able to pass that block border might be just fine in my eyes. Instead, I'd say selecting multiple blocks at once to move them around or delete them is more important from an author point of view.

This just came into my mind: when selecting text and trying to pass the block border to select more text, the editor could switch to general block selection, selecting the full block I started in plus the ones I'm going to drag my cursor to. See #70.

Imho it is necessary for deleting a whop of content which is been divided into a bunch of blocks. Right now you have to remove block-by-block which feels really cumbersome.
