How to select the entire trace/track in PCB editor?

I want to delete the entire track and re-route it differently.
Currently, I select the sections/parts of the track individually and delete them.Is there any way to select the entire track with a shortcut?

For reference,
Coming from Altium, I used to select a section of the trace and hit TAB to select the entire trace on the particular layer. Pressing TAB again will select the sections of track on the other layers as well along with vias.

If you delete a part of the track using unroute the yellow airwire becomes visible. Clicking on the air wire will then delete the whole track.

Hello @tanmayXZBEL,

 

When you use the Unroute command, you can select the signal option and then it will unroute the entire signal whenever you click a trace. The different modes of the unroute command give you control for different levels of granularity.

If you want to select the whole of a trace for other purposes. Ctrl+shift left-click will select the whole net, then you can ctrl+ left click to remove any portions you don't want to edit.

 

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

 

Best Regards,
