Hi,

I use junctions at some places to clean up the wiring for better readability.  
When deleting them I have to rewire in many cases (IMHO) "unnecessarily", where I just want to remove the junction but want to keep the basic connectivity between the nodes.

Dummy-Example:  
 ![node-red-junction](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/2/c/2c28e7cb9356697b25c85a2d4e73608abeef0ebb.png)

Alternatively: make an option in the context menu where you can do just that (delete junction with keep wires).

Maybe also for 1:N or N:1 junctions?
