Now you can see the current Erase Macro which reads ^C^C_erase.

Manually add an asterisk (*) before the first carrot.

Next skip a space after the word erase, then type the word single.

So the new Erase Macro should read *^C^C_erase single

This modification will reduce the time it takes to delete objects by eliminating the additional confirmation step

with your RMB. Once you click on the object, it will erase without any additional steps, allowing you to be more

efficient.
