**The problem that this feature will solve:**

It would be a convenience if I were able to quickly gesture, x or scratch, over a selection to delete it. Double tap with two fingers to undo, three finger double tap to redo.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**

It would be a convenient time saver

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**

Nothing, it’s just a time saver and convenience

> Hi, we had the two/three fingers tap gesture for undo/redo until the release of the iPad OS. We then updated the gestures to the iPad OS three fingers left/right swipe for undo/redo.

There isn’t a dedicated gesture for delete, but when you select something, the Delete buttom shows up automatically, and you just have to tap on it.

Thank you. Yes Sir I am aware of this. My suggestion is a small optimization that is already part of how the Apple Pencil is designed to work with text. and so I thought it might be a easy implementation.
