I think a means of keeping everyone happy here would be to enable keyboard shortcuts for thunar user-customisable-actions.
This would be nice in general, because instead of right-click open terminal I could just use the keyboard to get a term window. In the context of this problem, the user (or administrator) could get a customisable action that just calls the rm command and link this to a keyboard shortcut, say Ctrl+R. This way the behaviour of the delete key is not different across machines. _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
