Add group selection and deletion with keyboard for Topology Summary elements

The problem
Look at the screenshot (I played with Port-channels, but of course it's not the only scenario for many links between two nodes). Now I want to delete first four links (from e0/0 to e0/3). To do so I have to right click on a link, move the mouse down to the last position in the menu, click "Delete", move the mouse back, repeat, repeat and repeat.

Proposed solution

1. Add possibility to delete links (and, maybe other objects) with just pressing "Delete" key on the keyboard. So, to delete four links I would need to press "Delete" four times, that's all. Also it will be very easy to move up and down with keyboard arrows (it works now) and just pressing "Delete" when needed.
2. "File manager"-like behavior. Add possibility to group selection with Control-click (add/remove one element to/from selection) and Shift-click (add list of elements from previous selected to clicked). Also selecting a list of elements with holding Shift and moving cursor with keyboard arrows would be a nice feature.

I understand that group selection leads to another problem: what elements should be in the context menu for group? I would put at least Suspend, Resume and Delete at that list.

You can now use the delete key to delete a node or link from the topology summary view.

This would definitely be a great feature however this will have to wait since there is a bit more work to implement that.
