- atomicdog 15y ago'Enter' to rename is pretty insane also
- rimantas 15y agoAs if F2 is any saner.
- alanfalcon 15y agoYou use the command key to issue commands and raw keys to type. So: command-delete means it's fast and easy to delete a file without the worry of accidentally losing a file when your cat jumps on the keyboard.
- r0s 15y agoMaybe the OS can put a cork on the end of my fork so I don't accidentally stab myself while I'm eating. I'm just kidding, it's a superficial annoyance. I should have the option though, and what's the purpose of a "recycle bin" if not for feline file administration?
- jorisw 15y ago> I should have the option though No. This is what good software design is. The designer chose this path, offering you the option to change this is what makes software bloated and unmaintainable.
- r0s 15y agoNo options in software, gotcha.
- ugh 15y agoNot too many at any rate. If a minor detail like the key to delete files is an option pretty much everything else has to be an option. Options should only be there as a last resort, not in any other case.
- nazgulnarsil 15y agoI think everyone has stockholm syndrome with regard to OS GUIs. Windows and OSX are both pretty awful when it comes to consistent and logical design cues.
- reemrevnivek 15y agoIt does. You just have to add the Command key. Command-Shift-Delete empties the trash, finalizing the action.
- nicholasjbs 15y agoAdd Option to the mix, and it won't ask you to confirm the action.
