Description

**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.

**Screenshots**
