= Delete =

Allows the user to delete nodes and other objects.

The user can click on an object, which get deleted if possible. When Ctrl is pressed when releasing the button, the objects and all its references are deleted.

The exact definition of all its references is:

* If a node is deleted, the node and all segments, ways and areas the node is part of are deleted as well.

* If a segment is deleted, all ways the segment is part of are deleted as well. No nodes are deleted.
 
 * If a way is deleted, only the way and no segments or nodes are deleted.

* If an area is deleted, only the area gets deleted.

The following key shortcuts are defined:

* Pressing Alt will select the way instead of a segment, as usual.

* If the user did not press Ctrl and the object has any references, the user is informed and nothing is deleted.

If the user enters the mapmode and any object is selected, all selected objects that can be deleted will.
