GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 320210
make calendar item delete dialog default to yes
Last modified: 2005-12-14 12:01:37 UTC
To delete a single item in the calendar, I have to right click on it, select delete, then press left and Enter (or move the mouse to the left and click Delete). Since I already asked to delete it, I would like to see the default action confirm my request so I can just press Enter. Other information:
then the entire dialog would be pretty useless, in my opinion.
For me the purpose of a dialog is to ensure the user wants to do something in case they accidentally clicked on a destructive item, but also requiring the user to click Delete or press Enter is sufficient to confirm this. The dialog need not get in the way of a user trying to do something. It's already annoying enough now when you're trying to delete several items. I can't find anything in the guidelines that say you should have confirm as the default, but neither is there anything saying you should have deny. It also sucks that I can't click on an item once then press Delete on the keyboard, since it starts editing the appointment summary when only clicking once, rather unlike any other program. Actually, the Evolution TODO list is like this as well. :-(
Correct spelling error in summary so other people can find it. Sorry for the spam.
Confirming the bug, in delete confirmation dialog 'Delete' should be selected by default.
Committed to head.
