Mike, well, maybe doing things "the Apple way" wouldn't be such a bad idea as Camino appears to be an Apple product. Using the keyboard delete key isn't that bad but it does need to be consistent. For example, in cleaning up history, selecting bookmarks by dragging for a "volume" delete works ok but doing an "apple A" won't do a delete from the delete key. Should it? My comment is a very long criticism of the many different ways to do some common and highly repititive actions. I have many users have problems dealing with this. I don't know that I would call it complicating the UI but it does confuse some users. In general, the fewer ways to do some task the easier it is to teach. And, much more important, it makes the application much more robust, easiser to repair, and modify as neede.
