Delete Option to Delete Unnecessary Code/Function/VI/Object from Block Diagram and Front Panel.

Currently there is No DELETE option to delete unnecessary Code/Function/VI/Object from Block Diagram & Front Panel. We need to first select code then press delete key on keyboard to delete it.

If you have to highlight the code anyway why not just hit 'delete' to delete it - or am I missing something?

Hello Ken,

 

        When we right click on wire, there is a option to delete Wire Branch but when we select code/function/subvi/object then there is currently no Delete Option. Please see attached image. We can delete portion by just hitting delete but it's bit irritating when we need to modify code.

How is it irritating to hit the delete key?  It is faster.  You only hit 1 button instead of right-click, find it, click.

I use ctrl+x more often than delete since my left hand is always already on the keyboard.

I guess the point is that keyboards will die out in the near future. Everything is more and more touch panel and mouse centric. 😄

We use mouse to do coding in LabVIEW so I thought there should be option to delete un-necessary objects by using mouse & everyone will be free to use option according to their convenience, whether to use mouse/Delete key/Ctrl+X.

 

& I agree with altenbach.Smiley Wink

I have also always wondered why there wasn't a delete option in the context menu of primitives, but on the other hand I don't really miss it.

But I really find 'Delete Wire Branch' option useful & convenient than using Delete button to delete a wire so, according to me there should be Delete option & I really miss it.


Anyway thanks for your comments. Smiley Happy
