Description Mathias Brodala 2006-12-08 14:26:43 CET
User-Agent:       Opera/9.02 (X11; Linux i686; U; de)
Build Identifier: 

When you right click a file and hover the Delete entry, then you can activate it via pressing [Enter] instead of clicking it. But if you press [Shift]+[Enter] to permanently remove the file, nothing happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click file
2. Hold Shift over Delete
3. Press Enter

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Thunar should permanently remove the file.

Hi!!

  I think you have to

1) select a file whit left click (not right clik) so the file gets highlighted

2) than, you have to press (holding) [SHIFT] and simoultaneously [CANC]...

3) To the pop up dialog, you would (or not) press [ENTER]

bye bye,
   Claudio

What is „[CANC]“?

I guess you don’t understand what I mean. I can just select the file and press ([Shift]+)[Del], of course. But the behaviour as I described is pretty inconsistent. Currently you can select a file, open the context menu via mouse and activate the normal Delete via [Enter]. This should also work for [Shift]+[Enter] to permanently remove the file.

 sorry, before I didn't understand your meaning  ;o

 In that case you should wait for a Benedikt Meurer reply...
 I misunderstood your post (sorry sorry sorry)  ;)

I guess that's spam.

I have tried this on the latest version of XFCE and Thunar 1.2.2 and I can't reproduce this bug, I don't think it's any longer a problem.

I’ve just tried it with that very version and the issue is still there. Highlight the delete menu item and try to activate it via [Enter] key while holding the [Shift] key: nothing will happen.

NOt muchwe can do about that, its the way menus work in gtk. An option would be to toggle permanent delete while the confirmation dialog if show, or show "permanent delete" in the menu as an advanced option.
Comment 11 Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2013-02-03 13:34:27 CET
There's separate menu items for moving to trash and deleting permanently now. I guess we can close this issue?

Well, one has a direct way to permanently delete files in the menu, so yeah.
