Kicad6 API SetSelected() selects Vias after use, but cannot be deleted by pressing the Delete key

[HAYDEN]

Either one of the footprints or any element needs to be removed and then undoed before these vias can be deleted using the Delete key

This needs a bit more context, and nobody will type the shown code character by character just to test it.

I might be wrong here, but IIRC the current Python API does not allow changing which items are selected. The [Set|Clear]Selected methods is pcbnew’s internal C++ stuff. Hopefully the new API will be available soon.

    for t in brd.GetTracks():
            if notselected and t.IsSelected():
                notselected = False
                connections.clear()
            if notselected or t.IsSelected():
                if type(t) is PCB_VIA:
                    # connections[t]  # autovivification
                    brd.Delete(t)
                    bDel = True

Try this code it should work
