Add shortcut to delete predecessor link for a selected task.  
While adding tasks and arranging them it’s annoying to open the properties of each task, switch to predecessor tab and remove it. A shortcut will be handy

Thanks.

Select predecessor and successor tasks in the table and click “Unlink” button in the small toolbar above the table.
