Select table and deleting selection:
At the moment CTRL-A selects all the content, or one has to place the cursor in
the line above the table and drag into the first row, which selects the whole table.

First thing that I think is wrong, is that the way you select determines what
pressing the DEL key results in, i.e. CTRL-A sets it to delete only the content
and dragging sets it to delete the table. The latter even is only a workaround,
as it does not delete the table but a line plus a table.

Suggestion: First, selecting a table always selects everything, content plus
structure. This can be done by CTRl+A or clicking at a corner of the table
(issue 15532). Second, different keys for different types of deleting, e.g. DEL
for deleting content of selected table and BACKSPACE for deleting structure plus
content. There could maybe be a menu entry when right clicking: Delete content
DEL; Delete BACKSPACE.

This issue depends on issue 15532.

This issue is considered for OO.o later.
