Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-04-08 21:29:46 UTC 
trying to delete a file on the desktop with the delete key doesn't work.
I'm pretty sure it did in 1.06. also it does work when browsing files in
the icon view.

Doesn't work for me with Nautilus 1.1.11 from April 8 snapshots, either.
Comment 2 Alexander Larsson 2002-04-09 04:14:32 UTC 
This is probably because you use sloppy focus mode and the window
manager won't let you focus the root window. We should have a keyboard
combo that gives focus to the desktop.

i'm using the default sawfish settings that come with the ximian snapshots
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2002-04-15 01:53:52 UTC 
Pretty sure both parts of this bug are a duplicate :)
Comment 5 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-05-29 04:27:28 UTC 
I know how to fix this. The problem is that in delete is defined as a
shortcut in the nautilus-directory-view-ui.xml and not in
fm-directory-view.c. so the shortcut isn't passed to the desktop
through inheritance (at least this is my limited understanding). I
think we should change the default keybinding to delete. I have
another bug for that and that will fix this.

Dave B. did you have a fix for this?
Comment 12 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-02-06 22:56:39 UTC 
THere are a lot of issues here. Its highly untrivial (well at least
for a bad hack like me) to fix i fear. I may hack around with it and
see if i can get it to work sometime.
