Hi,

It's only available if you enable it in the settings.
We had a setting for that before, but seems we were only deactivating the menu item but not the shortcut, which seems inconsistent.

Maybe we can enable it always but never show a menu item and remove the setting?

I didn't expect there to be a setting for this (it used to "just work" for me before).

I also don't think there should ever be a menu item for this - it's a destructive operation with no option to undo. The keyboard combo, however, is much less likely to be used accidentally, so I don't think it should be disabled.

It'd probably be best if you ask the designers about this, they'll know what's the right thing to do.

nautilus-view: always allow to permanently delete

Before 3.15 we had a setting for adding a menu item for permanent
deletion of files. But the shortcut was always enabled no matter the
state of the setting, which seems inconsistent.

Then with the GAction port we changed that behavior to be consistent,
but people that were unaware of the setting were complaining that
the shortcut for permanent deletion was not working.

Given that we show a dialog if we hit that shortcut, and the setting
itself is confusing, just enable always the shortcut but remove the
setting and the menu item for it.
