On the other hand I hate tags. But yes let's try to stick with proper semantics...

Please specify the required appearance: ____ Collection _______________________ In __ Remove ___ Dashboard ............................ [ O ] [ - ] Curiously named menu commands ........ [ O ] [ - ] The Eight Glossaries of Henry VIII ... [ O ] [ - ] Things I didn't think of ............. [ O ] [ - ] Sneaky vacations ..................... [ O ] [ - ] Hint: a move to the Trash collection will remove the item from all other collections. ========= [Cancel] == [Move to Trash] == [[Apply]] ===== -- <http://pastebin.ca/1307567> for a monospaced view of that ASCII art. Now, marrying GTD (no dialogue) with the option of a dialogue (for those who value dialogues): * if note is in just one collection: backspace key removes (moves to Trash) * if note is in multiple collections: backspace key removes from the highlighted collection * if key combination command-backspace (or control-backspace) is used: dialogue appears and ruthlessly but logically: * the 'Delete' command is no longer a required menu command — there is, in the dialogue above, the equivalent Move to Trash — and that dialogue appears when command-backspace is keyed and last but not least: * in lieu of the 'Delete' command, the menu gains a 'Review appearance in collections' command (that is, the title of the draft dialogue above). Four words probably too long for a command, but is the logic agreeable? Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.
