Status

This change has been discarded.


Review request for KDE Frameworks, KDE Usability and Matthew Dawson.


Bugs: 357747
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357747


Repository: kconfig


Description
-------

This patch removes Shift+Del as secondary shortcut for the Cut action. This shortcut was set back in 2001.

Reasons for removing it:

* The expected standard behavior for this shortcut is "Permanently delete"
* For the reason above, it is also set as primary shortcut for the `DeleteFile` action. This causes conflicts in applications.
* For the reason above, many applications (e.g. Dolphin or Digikam) already resolve this conflict on their own.

Testing

Using Shift+Del in Gwenview now works as expected.
