Dear Norvid,

many thanks for the suggestion. My personal feeling would be that it would be dangerous, if one could directly delete rows from the data with one key, especially since there is no UNDO functionality. However, currently there is already a way to remove individual rows one by one with one key-stroke using a row list:

- select one or more rows, e.g. in the structure view
- press CTRL-1, which adds all selected rows to a default row list and creates a filter for that.
- select 'Default List' in the filter and invert the filter. Now all molecules in the default list are invisible
- select more structures and press CTRL-1 to add them to the list, which is to hide the from the view
- Choose "Data->Delete Rows->Invisible Rows"
(before deleting them, you may invert the filter again to see and check all molecules about to be deleted)

Would this be a viable alternative to the direct deletion key?

PS: &1 is the indicator for a racemic stereo center, where the '1' is the groups number in case we have multiple stereo centers that have relative stereo configurations, but are racemic none the less

Best wishes,

Thomas
