Description Steevithak 2012-03-17 23:15:24 UTC

Description of problem:
In all previous versions of Fedora I've used, it was possible to delete files by hiting the Delete key. In Fedora 16, attempting to delete the file via the keyboard has no effect. The only way I've discovered to delete a file is to drag it with the mouse to the little trash can icon, which is a pain and very slow. It's an acceptable work around until the bug can be fixed and hopefully this should be a pretty quick fix, probably just slipped through QA somehow...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.2.1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to delete a file in Nautilus via the keyboard by hitting delete
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
file should be deleted

The key shortcut is now Ctrl+Delete as per upstream discussion.

Comment 2 Steevithak 2012-03-19 15:35:11 UTC

Can you point me to the upstream discussion you're referring to? The new key combination is not user-discoverable or intuitive, which will make using the OS harder for newbies. It's also a pain to have to do a Ctrl-Del when just Del worked fine before. I'd like to know what the rational is for the change. It doesn't appear Del is now being used for something else more important. 

Also, is there some work-around to change to the keyboard shortcut back to something sane?

This may not be considered a bug upstream (a position which I think is arrogant and nearsighted), but I think it is owed some discussion for whether it is a bug in Fedora, no?
