@rkprad @AlexG1031 What's our rationale for this? The most common action should be closest to the mouse (Fitts's Law) and delete was by far the most common use of the context menu.

rkprad commented 1 year ago

The most commonly used function is to add/create new links. Delete is usually the last thing that a mechanism designer is going to use - not frequent. That's how it was deliberated during the last iteration of pmks+ and if you look there, delete is the last one.

Delete comes last when right-clicked on a joint or link (there are other examples too - right click on a tab in a browser, clicking on a point or line in online geometry tools).

So let's leave the change as is.
