KDE, Windows and MacOSX don't mind if you press Shift +Enter in a hurry at the same time to confirm the deletion of a file. In Thunar you have to lift the Shift key confirm the delete request, otherwise it's being ignored. Steps to reproduce: 1. Shift+Delete a file 2. Now switch with your finger from Del to Return to confirm without lifting the Shift key. 3. Nothing happens. Expected result: Thunar shouldn't mind if other keys are pressed simultanousely aside from Enter/Return (specifically Shift should be ignored).
Thanks for reporting ! > 2. Now switch with your finger from Del to Return Not sure what you want to say with "switch with finger" ... I dont have a touchscreen. I suppose you refer to the arrow keys ? As long shift is pressed it indeed looks like they are ignored. As well Nautilus shows the bug. Not sure if this is a thunar problem, or a gtk3 problem. I currently dont have time to further investigate, help would be much appreciated !
Created attachment 9457 Shift+Del and Shift+Enter drawing I'm talking about a regular keyboard. What I mean is that you change from Shift+Del to Shift+Enter to confirm the deletion without having to lift the shift key. Attached you can find a drawing, which might explain it better than my English. When you're used to this (admittedly lazy) routine on KDE/Windows/MacOSX for decades where a pushed Shift key doesn't matter, having to lift Shift everytime is hard to adapt.
Maybe open a report against Nautilus also, and see what the GNOME devs think about this.
