As a power user, I found these operations a lot less frustrating after 
discovering that selecting a way, holding down Shift, and selecting the 
intersecting node limits the split, disconnection, or extension to just 
that way.

Press Ctrl+Del or Ctrl+Backspace to delete the selected feature. The 
modifier key was added [1] in response to complaints that iD was making 
it too easy to delete stuff. [2]

FWIW, the wiki has a full list of shortcuts. [3]
