Description

I get frustrated if I would erase all the sky tiles in one layer and create a new 'sky' layer.
I searched the document and didn't find a way to change the size of the eraser tool.

Oh... I've found a method just now. I could select and cut it using COMMAND+X - It's weird that I can't select and just delete it.

I use tiled 0.9.0 on Mac.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the eraser and selection behavior described for Tiled 0.9.0 on Mac, then locate the current eraser and tile-selection entry points. Check how erasing and deleting are handled, and define done as a usable way to change eraser size plus a clear delete action for selected tiles.
