Description
### Description
After removing long-press to place points, tapping on a line or segment now always creates a new point. The reason you may want to select the entire shape is to delete and start again, which we assume is less common.
Currently too delete a shape, users must either:
- Manually select and delete each individual point
- Or tap a segment, it turns dark blue to show the selected state (while also creating a new point), and then delete the entire line. Given they are going to delete the entire line the additional point likely won't be a big issue.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the frontend interaction that handles tapping a trace segment and selecting or deleting a shape. Compare the current point-creation and whole-trace deletion behavior, then verify that the chosen interaction selects the entire trace without requiring point-by-point deletion.
