Description g111 2020-09-15 18:05:49 UTC
SUMMARY
I always wondered why files disappeared from my ~/Desktop folder that I had configured in a folder view widget on my desktop. I think I have found what the problem is...

I often have several konsole windows on the desktop. To close them I press and hold ctrl+d. After the last konsole window has been closed a ctrl+d event might be triggered against the desktop. If in such a case a file is selected in the folder view, it is being deleted (moved into the trashcan).

I could not find a way to turn off this folder-view-delete-hotkey configuration.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. put the folder view widget on the desktop
2. select a file or folder in the widget
3. open one or more konsole windows
4. press and hold ctrl+d to close the konsole windows

OBSERVED RESULT
The selected file or folder in the folder view is going to be deleted.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing should happen after the last konsole windows has closed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-47-generic
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There should not exist a hotkey to remove a file by default. At least a requester should pop up to ask if you really want to delete something.

Can confirm, but not sure if this is intentional or a bug. Will investigate.

FWIW the files aren't deleted, they're just moved to the trash. So it's undoable. Still annoying though.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-09-15 18:31:12 UTC
Ctrl+D isn't a standard shortcut for "Move to Trash" so it's probably local to Folder view somehow.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2020-09-15 19:12:57 UTC
I can't seem to find it. :(
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2020-09-15 19:30:46 UTC
Found it, with help from Eike Hein.

Folder View has code to do this:

> Keys.onPressed: {
>    event.accepted = true;
>    if (event.matches(StandardKey.Delete)) {

StandardKey.Delete includes Ctrl+D as a shortcut.

Use KDE shortcuts for "move to trash" action coming from QStandardKey

QKeySequence::Delete is the Qt "Move to trash" action, which, by
default, includes Ctrl+D as a shortcut. This is something we don't want
in KDE software, so we need to intercept this action in our integration
plugin and give it the standard KDE shortcuts instead, as we do for
other actions.
