kb shortcut for "delete from drive"

["Mathieu Avoine" <avoinemt gmail com>]

Hi all,

After a short discussion with maxxer about the feature request to add a kb shortcut for "delete from drive" (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301151) and realizing that the inclusion of the patch is stuck because of a year-and-a-half-old debate that goes nowhere, I propose to launch again the discussion.

I propose to map "shift+delete" to the function "delete from drive" (found in Edit menu), that would simply invoke the function (thus pop the confirmation box, no modification to the behavior). I'm using this function extensively to clean-up large batches of photos and right now I have to do alt+e (to pop the edit menu) then d (for delete from drive) then d again (to confirm deletion). Quite a lot of typing just to delete a picture!

Also, I suggest to keep the "move to trash can instead of permanently delete" topic for another discussion.

Any thoughts?
