GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 83218
Keybindings for "move to trash" and "delete"
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The default keybinding for "move to trash" should be delete (i figure this is what most users use anyway) and the keybinding for "delete" should be shift+delete, or maybe ctl+delete. Seems to make more sense.
marking this a blocker of 82707 in hope that it will get fixed while i'm europe for the gnome 2.0.1 release.
I'd like to see this too, but have a vague recollection of some Eazelites objecting last time it was suggested-- anyone remember the reason, if indeed I'm not just hallucinating?
I'm unaware of any reason not to use these keybindings. These are same keybindings use in konqueror. (perhaps their decision was based on the mac, just a guess since i don't know what keybindings are used for move to trash in finder). I'll venture to guess that no one use ctrl+t for move to trash. most users will probably use the delete key as this is well, intuitive. One nicety of fixing this is that the delete key will work on the desktop if this is fixed (see bug 78120).
