Quick "camera zapper" mode to delete a bunch of cameras easily by clicking on them

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Right now, after a reconstruction, sometimes I end up with 10+ cameras which got positioned incorrectly. To remove them, right now I need to:

  • doubleclick a camera
  • in the new window, click delete button
  • click yes to confirm
  • click next camera

Particularly if I've first identified a point or set of points that are problematic, and I have a set of lines identifying 10+ cameras, after deleting the first camera, I have to do it again to see once again which other cameras are problematic.

Describe the solution you'd like Idea 1: "Camera zapper" shortcut Holding down a button combo, let's say Ctrl+Shift, and clicking a camera, immediately deletes the camera. No prompt to confirm. I could first select a problematic point, get a bunch of cameras seeing that point highlighted, and just Ctrl+Shift+click them away.

Idea 2: region select (in 2D screen space) to select a bunch of cameras to delete with one button.

Idea 3: region select (in 2D screen space) to select one or more points, and all cameras seeing that point get highlighted and deleted.
