@Zhirong2022 , your example is for connection to Viya 4. Am I correct in guessing that you also would want to have this for connections of type SAS9 local/remote IOM (and any connection types that we might add in future)?

Side note: This functionality is supported in the Explorer pane of SAS Studio.

Currently, we have the ability to delete tables using a viya connection. However, this hasn't been tested with CAS tables. For example, if you run...

data work.test;
set sashelp.class;
run;

A work table should be created that you can delete. I'm wondering if the table values are different for cas (I believe we get a readOnly property from the api that we use to determine whether or not we can delete tables or libraries).

In any case, it's worth exploring having keyboard actions for both the content and libraries pane.

Update: We should be able to use keybindings to enable keyboard shortcuts
