[Bf-committers] Proposal: Untangled delete

[PabloVazquez.org]

+1

Even though in some cases the auto-connect is unwanted for some, I
believe is useful, so having it in another hotkey (like you mentioned)
would be a nice addition to speedup workflow.

Asked for it during Sintel when compositing every day for weeks, fun times!

Cheers!
