add backspace key and space key as options for the swipe actions.

maybe other keys as well.

will try to submit a patch but since I know I'm incompetent and will take a 
long time, adding here on the tracker...

Id love to see the following added: shift+swiped key, carriage return, 
backspace, space bar, tab to the gesture actions.

This is what I'd like to achieve:
1- Swipe up on a key: to access the secondary character in a key, it would 
equate to shift+key
2- Swipe down: carriage return
3- Swipe right to left: backspace (delete one character to the left of cursor)
4- Swipe left to right: space or tab (for bash complete)

This is an enhancement, not a defect. This behavior is very similar to what I 
had set up on my old palm III way back when, but it was very productive. 
Haven't found a keyboard that does that yet (maybe touchPal is doing some 
similar things, but with a different approach).

Maybe item 1 might fit better with "Sliding key events", where you add "Send 
alternate character when sliding up" as an option?

I would suggest 'delete previous word' and /or 'delete next word' swipe 
options. Swiftkey has swipe left to delete the last word functionality that I 
really miss, not enough to go back to it but I did find it a real time saver.
