This is practical, because it means that we would not need a different key command just for deleting a track, or an item or a marker and so on. Most edit operations including copying, cutting and pasting work exactly in this same way. However, here is one common situation that may confuse many users to leave you thinking for a bit, which we will cover later, and here is where manipulating items really come into play: If you instead make a time selection using the brackets, then press the left or right arrows to focus the timeline and then press the delete key, whatever content that is in that time selection (whether it's one track or 50 of them) is gone.
