How can I delete song from both playlist and iTunes library?

Question

How can I delete a song both from a playlist and the iTunes music library when viewing the playlist in iTunes 12.0.1.26.

I've tried several key combinations with Backspace and Delete (in the Editmenu) is disabled.

oops - after I answered I found a duplicate question, which actually has a different method, so take your pick - apple.stackexchange.com/questions/99911/… — Tetsujin, Jan 19, 2015 at 7:54

Simple…

Alt ⌥ Right Click & you get the option to Delete added to the context menu

Alternatively - press Cmd ⌘ + Alt ⌥ + ← backspace

Thx also for finding the duplicate question (which I was not aware of). BTW, I am using OS X, so it's Alt-Ctrl Click.

[alt]/ctrl/click is the same as [alt]/right click for those without a right mouse button. They are functionally identical.
