Looking to set a shortcut to delete a table, I just can't do it because the table menu hasn't this option. Beyond this issue, does anybody know if a script can delete all tables of a document? Thank you.

As for the second part of your question, this script should delete all tables in the active document:

app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().remove();

I do assign SHIFT+CTRL+Backspace and it works.

Strange task to kill all the tables needs script.

https://www.id-extras.com/delete-all-empty-rows-or-columns-from-an-indesign-table/ - here the payment version of your task. Or wait here, may be some of forum-users who's know scripting write to you such a script for deleting all the tables in a publication.
