At some point in our history, someone half way changed the default behavior of the delete hot key in pcbnew (legacy canvas). There is a dubious albeit incomplete attempt to limit the delete hot key to the currently selected tool. When did we decide to that and who made that decision? This would explain why I cannot delete certain items when certain tools (track and footprint) are selected. I thought we were working under the assumption having to constantly select the "correct" tool to delete (or any other hotkey function for that matter) items associated with that tool was not a good thing but rather a waste of time. One of the things I've always hated about other EDA packages was the notion that I could only delete object if I had the tool for that object type selected. I'm really not interested in repeating behavior in KiCad. Does anyone really think limiting hot keys to the currently selected tool is a good idea?
