Clearing graphic from map

Hey guys, im fairly new to the javascript API.

I made a viewer where the user is able to draw and edit shapes and text. I am trying to figure out how to remove a single graphic that is selected.

the code below removes all graphics regardless if its selected or not. anyideas on what Im doing wrong?

map.graphics.on("click", function(evt){
  //window.alert("click caught");
  event.stop(evt);
  editingEnabled = true
  if (evt.ctrlKey === true || evt.metaKey === true) {  //delete feature if ctrl key is depressed
  window.alert("delete caught");
                map.graphics.clear(); // removes all graphics as opposed to only selected graphic
                currentLayer = this;
                editToolbar.deactivate();
                editingEnabled=false;
        }
});


//FIXED CODE (thanks to tim witt)  - just in case anyone came accross the same issue.

map.graphics.on("click", function(evt){
  //window.alert("click caught");
  event.stop(evt);
  editingEnabled = true
  if (evt.ctrlKey === true || evt.metaKey === true) {  //delete feature if ctrl key is depressed
  window.alert("delete caught");
                    map.graphics.remove(evt.graphic); // this removes single graphic
                currentLayer = this;
                editToolbar.deactivate();
                editingEnabled=false;
        }
});

Hey Ibrahim,

I was trying to do the same, when I eventually ended up going in a totally new direction. Check out the advanced draw tool I have created and feel free to use it: Advanced Draw - JSFiddle‌

I use the right-mouse click to delete graphics (and create a whole menu).

Let me know what you think!

Tim
