[Bug 95853] Re: Nautilus: too easy to move files/folders to Trash (single key press of "Delete")
Isaac, thank you for that comment - you are just hitting the nail on the head!! I'm IT professional for 25 years and decided to change to ubuntu 8.04 LTS - I really like it. On the other hand I can't believe that nobody took care on the need of so many users since more than 8 years now. I read about hundreds of workarounds in GNOME to change Nautilus short cuts, but I didn't make any of them work for Ubuntu. Hitting DEL by accident may happen to everybody !! Please Nautilus developers out there bring this annoying discussion to an end. any of the above mentioned options would be fine. I hate wasting time to check the trash before deleting its content - that's just not user friendly.

[Bug 95853] Re: Nautilus: too easy to move files/folders to Trash (single key press of "Delete")
Gosh, this thread got ugly, with the "windoze" bashing and calling people "imbeciles", over a feature that is: a) easily solved (I went back and forth between looking for solutions on the internet, and essentially rewriting most of the code GG wrote in a patch more than 7 years ago, before noticing that he did it). b) would inconvenience NOBODY (it would be an option, turned OFF by default, so the default behavior wouldn't change) c) ... in an application that isn't exactly overflowing with user options d) ... and would have effectively no additional performance overhead (we're calling one user setting, one branch operation, and MAYBE a hundred bytes of memory - if this is what we're calling bloat, give me a break kids). e) and when you find yourself on a strange, annoying or poorly laid out keyboard, becomes VERY important. I truly can't believe this community sometimes. Because credentials and history seems to matter to some people, I've been using Linux AND Windows for over 15 years (each). I am comfortable in both - though more comfortable on the command line, where things can't accidentally end up in the trash by hitting a delete key that is too close to an enter key. I spend most of my time developing code in Linux, and then using Windows for anything "productive" that I want to do - i.e. anything other than develop code on the command line. Why? Because in a modern operating system - one that wants its users to know what's going on, and prevent things like accidental data loss if the wrong key is pressed - these aren't issues. And I'm a user who knows what I'm doing - I can only imagine the user that is relatively new to Linux. The arguments - 'OMG do we need a dialog box for copies? moves? drags?' Sure, if those can be done by one errant keypress. If move-to-trash became a ctrl+whatever combo instead of a single key, this whole topic would be moot. Did I spend 20 minutes having to fish things out of the trash because of it tonight? Yes. Could I have possibly, irreparably, lost data if I hadn't noticed? Absolutely. If these are the sort of things that generate ridicule, then it's time to stop trying to entice "ordinary users" (you know, the OSX and Windoze folks everyone seems to revile) from ever using Ubuntu. Or to stop making Gnome/Nautilus the default file browser. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 Title: Nautilus: too easy to move files/folders to Trash (single key press of "Delete") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/95853/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I switched to KDE some years ago. The last straw that made me change was this bug. Dolphin has this feature for years. I (as many others) really don't understand what the barrier which makes this bug not be fixed yet. I don't mean to return to Gnome (or Cinnamon/Mate/Unity/whatever), but I have friends that still like it, hence my interest. -- Wagner Macedo On 22 June 2015 at 09:55, Philipp Noack wrote: > I don't understand whats the problem with giving users the choice of > letting nautilus prompt before moving files to trash.

I don't understand whats the problem with giving users the choice of letting nautilus prompt before moving files to trash. It could also be disabled by default but we should be able to choose! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95853 Title: Nautilus: too easy to move files/folders to Trash (single key press of "Delete") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/95853/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
