Description Greg Lepore 2021-04-15 11:39:56 UTC
SUMMARY
I've been using Shift Delete to permanently remove files in Dolphin, but recently it's been sending them to the Trash instead. According to the shortcut, Shift Delete should bypass the Trash.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolpin
2. Select a file
3. Hold the Shift key on the keyboard and hit the Delete button on the Toolbar


OBSERVED RESULT
File is move to Trash

EXPECTED RESULT
File is deleted permanently

I'm going to close this one, the toolbar button is Move to Trash, not Delete. I think the previous behavior with holding the Shift Button and clicking Move to Trash was to Delete the file, but I think the current behavior is the correct one.

Yes, there's a separate toolbar button for "permanently delete" :)

What is the reason for moving the shift+delete shortcut to move to trash? Isn't it the same as delete alone?
Comment 4 Greg Lepore 2021-04-15 15:39:48 UTC
I worded my report incorrectly, I was holding Shift and clicking on the Move to Trash button, expecting that to Delete, rather than moving the file to the Trash. I believe this was the previous behavior with that button, but it should probably just Move the file to the Trash, as the button states.

The keyboard combination of Shift and the Delete button still deletes the file.

Oh, I see, thanks for explaining!
