Speaking as someone who figured out the difference between "Remove" and "Delete" pretty much immediately, I'm highly skeptical that we are the norm. :-) It would be worth actually testing this in a user study. However, the fact that this question comes up at all (over and over again) seems to be an indication of unnecessary complexity. As for adding pop-ups, I'm suggesting it be a conditional popup with a default so that it's only one additional keystroke if you want to remove from multiple collections. No reason why you couldn't maintain the Ctl-Del keyboard shortcut for more proficient users, which would mean never seeing the popup at all. =Eugene -- ====================================================================== Eugene Eric Kim ................................ http://xri.net/=eekim Blue Oxen Associates ........................ http://www.blueoxen.com/ ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list unsubscribe here: http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-users Chandler wiki: http://chandlerproject.org/wikihome
