This is the documented behavior (from the README keyboard shorcuts):

 Find Duplicates window:

   ...
   [Delete], [Keypad Delete]          remove selected images from list
   ...
   [Ctrl] - D                         delete selected files


My reasoning was that delete seamed the logical key to use to simply remove an
object from the list, and [Control] - D is not an accident waiting to happen.

Changing it now to delete images with the delete key may cause a problem for
existing users not aware of the change. I could be pushed to change it if you
can suggest an alternative keyboard shortcut to only remove items from the
window, oh, and it has to make sense :)


Greetings,
John
