Description Mantas Mikulėnas (grawity) 2015-06-06 15:04:13 UTC 
It seems the numpad's [. Delete] key does not work for deleting files like the regular [Delete] would.

[the regular one is unfortunately broken on my keyboard, so I can't 'just use that' until I get a new one ebay'd]

I'm not sure if <Shift>KP_Delete for permanent deletion is also needed. Shift is usually closer to regular Delete.

hmm I'd say yes, because: 0) consistency; 1) not everyone uses a full-size PC keyboard, and laptops have varied layouts; 2) not everyone tries to press such shortcuts with one hand

But of course. I don't know what I was thinking. New patch adds <shift>KP_Delete but also extends KP_Delete to remove files from Trash and adapts comment.
