Hello,

If the eraser tool does not perform the above function, how should I make a feature request?

Thank you

Try the paintbrush in color-erase mode (using the text color). Depending on the rest of the layer you can even use the bucket-fill in color-erase mode for this (or Colors/Color to alpha, which is equivalent).
