This behavior would be the opposite of the legacy canvas and most likely
lead to confusion. In the legacy canvas backspace removes a segment and
delete removes the entire trace. I would prefer that the behavior be
the same as the legacy canvas as much as possible. If users prefer the
opposite key mapping than change that in the hotkey editor but I don't
recall anyone ever complaining about the legacy canvas behavior.
