Remove path after clicking selection from Path - adam - 05-23-2022
I was just wondering if there is a setting to automatically delete / remove the path after clicking "Selection from Path"
Most of the time I create one selection area and then move on to another immediately and the only way I have found to remove the path is to change tool and start again. I would prefer to stay within the path tool creating paths and selections one after the other. Maybe there is a keyboard shortcut I am missing to clear the path and start creating a new path without exiting the tool?

Near your layers dialog / stack there is a tab called "Path"
Without changing the tool path, click on "New" in the path tab/dialog,

from this dialog on the oposite side of "New" you got a cross > delete

In menu Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts, you can add your own keyboard shortcuts to a lot of action related to Paths.

Yep, as previous post:
You could try using keyboard shortcuts see: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-concepts-shortcuts.html

Set A for a selection from path
Set B for delete the path
Make sure you are on one end or the other of the path stack
