Pcbnew GAL: Unable to delete zone corner

[Adam Vašíček]

It is not possible to remove any zone corner while editing the zone outline. The context menu in Legacy rendering mode allows this.

I would suggest improving the <Del> key handling: It would be nice if the key press deletes just the zone corner in case the mouse cursor is placed over that particular corner instead of the whole zone.

Even though there is the revision 5489 reported, it is revision 5508.

Thank you for making KiCad better every day!

The delete key in the legacy canvas deletes the entire zone. I do not
want the GAL canvas behavior to be different. I'm fine with using Ctrl
and/or Alt + Delete to delete a zone corner. If it gets implemented,
please implement it in both canvases to minimize user confusion.

Zone corner delete is an option in the right-click menu in legacy, so it should probably at least be added to the menu in GAL.
