150779 - Show all tags mode should allow you to delete a containing tag without deleting its contents

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

In NC4 Composer form tags were unknown things, which meant if you ever wanted to
strip a page and use its content you could select the <form> begin tag and
delete it without destroying its children (because NC4 Composer didn't really
know or care about children).

Suppose I want to edit the page (url) and convert a <select> into some text
nodes which i could then copy into a new bug. Currently I need to use edit
source and manually destroy the <select> tag.

RFE: Right click>delete tag and promote children.
the text can be changed to fit someone else's wording, I just want the feature :)

This would also be great for removing table tags as well but some smarts would
be needed (to remove table, tr, td, etc.)
