Well, I think the bike-shed should be blue! [1] Seriously, it's a GUI. The idea of a GUI is to make things easier on the user, not to complicate the interface with confusing options. That's not saying configurability isn't good, but requiring a preference because hitting shift+del is too much extra work for you over just del is pretty silly. (Though, Thunar's accelerators might be customisable already, so...) If you want to be a power user and delete things like crazy, open a terminal window. Maybe I like red better, though... -brian [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikeshed_color -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFeE9I6XyW6VEeAnsRAwKxAKCZ3QByFr53+37cGimUoLBqanEOCQCglSNC Qr7tK5qBdVWGHZ7ofjw5m98= =aqYN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Thunar-dev mailing list Thunar-dev@xfce.org http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/thunar-dev
