Actually exactly what you want is already enabled with /apps/nautilus/preferences/enable_delete configuration key (checkbox also exists in my nautilus preferences dialog).
The only thing you probably miss is Windows-like behavior where SHIFT-DELETE is replaced with DELETE keyboard key and used to delete the file instead of moving it to the Trash. Look at this guide: http://www.rolfs.no/2007/11/19/how-do-you-disable-the-ctrlt-%E2%80 %98move-to-trash%E2%80%99-keyboard-shortcut-in-gnomenautilus/ It's about another shourtcut key, BUT after enabling the config (.../enable_delete) you can replace the default SHIFT-DELETE with just DELETE key (follow the guide and press DELETE twice: once to delete the previous key and second time to set the DELETE key itself). After that, pressing delete on any file/folder will bring the delete confirmation dialog, after accepting it the selected items will be deleted permanently. -- No way to disable trash in nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
