The "clear" key on a normal Mac keyboard will clear everything

pressing 6.
Actually, that isn't the same as Clear Items...Everything. Your
method is the same as Clear Entries and Smart Shapes, and leaves
measure attributes, measure-attached expressions, repeats, and time
signatures intact.
Yes, the clear key does this with highlighted areas, and that's
what's usually needed (in my experience). If I needed the Measure
Items cleared as well, I'd probably delete and replace the measures
altogether. That operation only takes a couple of seconds, so I am
in agreement with Chris that
using the "clear" key the way it is set up is quite practical in most
cases.

I don't know of a Mac equivalent for Clear Items... Everything, but
on the other hand, how often does one have to do that? I can live
with the menu method for that rare occasion.
