Due upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647048 People will now need to press Ctrl+Supr instead of simply Supr. As this is not obvious at all, we should either revert this decision or, at least, document this change a bit like: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GNOME#Changing_hotkeys Thanks Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 295235 [details, diff] patch to support both Delete and Ctrl+Delete This has been annoying me forever too. In every other file manager on the planet the Delete key does exactly what it says, *delete* :/ Normally, I do not like to change upstream behavior defaults. However, in this particular case I am quite certain that upstream is wrong, that the new upstream behavior will confuse users with no benefit, and will only lead people to pressing Shift+Delete or Ctrl+Alt+Delete by accident. The attached patch should restore the Delete shortcut, but Ctrl+Delete will continue to work. The only question is whether to apply the patch unconditionally or if USE=-vanilla. Ack/nack?
