I thought that was one of the ideas which sparked development of Chimera/Camino, as well as its underlying implication using Cocoa. Using the delete key to remove an item from the toolbar list was my first choice. Also I find unlabeled icons ambiguous frequently, so I will choose a known keyboard shortcut before clicking on an icon. > Using the keyboard delete key isn't that bad but it > does need to be consistent.

This would leave programmers able to meet the current milestone goal of fixing the current list of outstanding bugs.
