`resetEditor` clears all content instead of reverting to `value` or `initialValue` about plate HOT 5 CLOSED

Probably best as an option ? "reset" has different interpretations

Adding an option sounds fine. Didn't resetEditor behave like I described at one point?

Reset has worked this way as long as I can remember. It’s possible it accidentally worked this way before separating value/initialValue.

The use case for the current behavior is switching pages or documents without recreating the editor component.

@dylans Thanks for clarifying.

I usually use the trick of changing the key prop when I want to reset an editor to its initial value. But this time, I was getting a strange error message that looked like it was coming from React's internals (not reproducible in a code sandbox), so I thought I'd try a resetting-based approach instead.

If the problem comes up again, I might introduce a new option to resetEditor that tells it to use Plate's value prop, but I'll stick with the workaround for now.

It’s possible the behavior changed in switching Slate from React 16.x to 18.2, though we haven’t done much other than update the dependencies so far.
