TL;DR/What?

A hotkey (like right-click or delete), which enables deleting a remote view tag which is pointed by the mouse directly.


Why?

We know there are many improvements about remote view tags since 2.0. Now we can copy & paste & move them very fast.
And since the current experimental 2.0.37 version, there are more virtual signals looks like box drawing characters, which fit the remote view tag using too. We can use them to draw box in the remote view, to reserve some areas for further developments.
But... After actually using the reserved area, how can we delete those tons of tags in remote view?
I think a hotkey would be fine.

It could work similar to existing Move tag control (Shift+Left click).
Assign it to Right-click or Shift+Right click, using it on a tag initiates "mining it", similar to how mining ghosts work (first mining in a row is slow, subsequent are faster).

Long press would really help, unless some accidental deletions.
Maybe another ctrl+z mechanics can be applied too.
