Description

When the edit mode edit is triggered to remove polygon's vertex, it also allows me to remove marker and circle marker by right click.

Is there any way to prevent it? (only allow to remove vertex but not the whole object like marker or circle marker)

The reason is if you remove marker or circle marker while edit mode is on from mobile device (press holding finger), you can't pan the map around (but you can still zoom in-out)

Research direction
Investigate the leaflet geoman plugin's edit mode behavior. Look at the source code for event handling when right clicking during polygon editing. The issue asks for a way to prevent removal of markers/circle markers while editing vertices. Check if there is an option to disable removing other layers during edit mode or explore using 'layerremove' event filters. The plugin's documentation and examples (e.g., 'draw/drag', 'editable') may provide clues. Consider adding a new option or modifying existing behavior to allow only vertex removal.
