[Usability] Placement of delete options in Right-click menu, and modifier key to force move?



After a little "usabilitily study" I conducted on myself, consisting of
renaming and moving about a dozen files between partitions, I discovered
a couple things that irked me about nautilus.

First, I think the move to trash option on the menu is too close to the
rename option.. I accidentally moved several files to the trash.. while
a reversible action, it did break my train of thought.

Second, when moving files between partitions, it defaults to copying
instead of moving, which is fine, but the only way to get it to move is
to hold alt while releasing the drag-drop, and selecting "Move here"
from the popup menu. I'd like to suggest that the shift key be used to
force a move in this case.

I thought it might be better to run this by people here before I bugged
the nautilus folks about it.
