Right now if you accidentally add a vertex while editing with a tool such as Reshape, you have to R click very precisely and without moving your mouse on the point you created and choose Delete Vertex.

Sometimes, it gives you the wrong menu, which means you have to try multiple times to get the menu option to show up.

This is especially cumbersome when trying to remove multiple vertices without losing or ending your drawing. It would be more consistent and much easier if the toolbar had the Remove Vertex option on it like the edit vertices tool and if the [d] key worked for activating. It's just really strange that there are two different ways to remove a vertex depending on what tool you're in.

This is how tools work in Adobe Illustrator - you can use [-] to quickly remove vertices while drawing.

Yet another type of menu from R clicking on a vertex:
