Describe the bug
The documentation shows DEL → Delete selected element, but the shortcut does not work anywhere in the editor (tables, notes, areas, relationships).
This suggests the feature is documented but not implemented.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create any element
  2. Select it
  3. Press Delete
  4. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
Pressing Delete removes the selected element as documented.
