Done and Delete buttons for Read Aloud annotations
I can click on the UI to make an annotation when it is reading aloud in Zotero.
So I would like to be able to complete or delete the annotation from the mouse also (Done and Delete).
I find it strange that I need to read the tutorial for keyboard shortcuts and reach the keyboard to validate the annotation I have made from the mouse.

You can delete the annotation with the mouse via the context menu from the page or the sidebar.
As long as the popup is opened, I can do all the editing operations listed below from the mouse, except Done and Delete:

Making the popup disappear more quickly with the mouse is indeed part of the problem (Done). But that still leaves cancelling the annotation from the mouse more complicated at the moment, because I still need to select it before deleting it from the context menu.
The sidebar does not move to the newly created annotation, so with many annotations in the file, this is probably difficult to find it there.
As long as the popup is displayed, the newly created annotation is just behind the popup, so still difficult to reach in the page.
If the popup can be dismissed by a click outside, that would improve a bit the Delete process, but still quite more complicated than a red cross in the popup to delete it.
We can consider a delete button, but Delete just isn't particularly important here. If you clicked the button, you presumably meant to annotate something, and if the selection is wrong, you can use the arrow buttons to move it. And there's obviously nothing stopping you from pressing Delete on the keyboard for the rare case where you really don't want that annotation.
