Description Mattias Eriksson 2002-05-24 07:32:55 UTC 
I use metacity and sloppy focus. When I want to delete something on the 
desktop I select it and press delete but it just don't work.
Comment 1 Gaute Lindkvist 2002-05-25 15:44:31 UTC 
I'm pretty sure this is a Nautilus bug. The delete key on the desktop
does not work with Sawfish either.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-05-30 17:55:32 UTC 
Really irritating, but not very big in the grand scheme of things.
Mattias: did this just recently break in nautilus or has it always
been broken? Do you recall?
Comment 3 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-05-30 18:27:04 UTC 
Actually this bug has nothing to do with sloppy focus at all. The
default key binding for move to trash defined in fm-directory-view.c
is ctrl+t, the delete key is defined in
nautilus-directory-view-ui.xml. So the fm-desktop-icon-view.c used for
the drawing desktop doesn't inherit the keybinding from the directory
view.

I think the solution to this is to kill ctl+t and make delete the
default keybinding for move to trash and shift+delete the keybinding
for real delete.I have a bug open for that.
