SUMMARY
I use "Delete permanently" with Shift+Del a lot. Somewhere between version 8.1.0 and 8.8.0 the focus changed from Delete button to Cancel button which is very annoying to me because I can't press only Enter anymore to delete. So most times I have to press Shift+Del again because I pressed Enter so fast that the window closed and I have to remember that the focus changed…

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open digiKam 8.8.0, select an image and press Shift+Del.
2. Observe which button is focused.
3. Open digiKam 8.1.0, select an image and press Shift+Del.
4. Observe which button is focused.

OBSERVED RESULT
 digiKam 8.8.0: The button Cancel is focused.
 digiKam 8.1.0: The button Delete is focused.

EXPECTED RESULT
The button Delete should be focused as before.

This was a user request submitted via a bug report. The reason given was to make accidental deletion more difficult.

For permanent deletion without using the trash, I left the focus set to the Cancel button. For deletion via the trash, I reverted this change, as undoing or restoring is possible.

Since two user requests conflict here, there will be no change. And no, we will not make it configurable either.
