I just had the case that there was plenty of stuff in the data manager that I wanted to delete, and it is a pain. To edit, a double-click is enough, but to delete an item you need to do RMB->scroll down the list->Delete.
We should add a keyboard shortcut so that hitting the "Del" key directly deletes the selected object and selects the next one.

I tried to do it but it does not work :-( I made the delete action global to the DataManager class, called new QAction() it in the constructor and registered the Qt::Key_Delete shortcut for it. The context menu shows the shortcut, but hitting the key does nothing (neither with nor without context menu)

Reproducible: Always
