Change the Ctrl+del shortcut back to Del and use notifications instead

[Ngassam Nkwenga]

Please, the title of this bug is a serious title while it can offend the Gnome designer.

Yet we can no more use the "Del" key to delete a file on our desktop, we have to press Ctrl + Del to do so, and close to it we have also Shift+ Del to definitely delete a file from our Drive. We could so simply mistake the two shortcut keys .

And now Worse, we no more are able to do Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V !
please , Ubuntu dev, don't let us fall out. We need a patch. If I could I would make a patch myself.
just because Gnome decided to remove those shortcut doesn't mean it is a good design.
We need a patch, please.

I agree this bug !!!

No CTRL+C and CTRL+V .... And the 'Del' key that doesn't do anything !??

That's a bit to much for normal users of linux (not geeks !!!) ....

It's like if Gnome want to waste everything this project had built...

Like the decision you have done for unity instead of gnome shell, I think gnome choose the bad way.

I don't know how gnome designers and devs can use this !

If keyboard manufacturers have placed a 'Del' key, it is not for show, or for fun...

This nautilus is useless.

And there is no more possibility to add a background / emblem in Nautilus (code was old and deprecated, so was removed, but nothing new for replacement), the blank background is not very nice...

Thanks for the report, but first of all remember to file one report for issue and not a meta bug with all the problems you have encounter that makes things really difficult for us to track and more over for the developers to fix, said that lets just keep this bug about the CTRL+Delete problem, which is also being tracked upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648658 ; the Ctrl+C Ctr+V issue is being tracked on bug 827921, please comment there if you're having that problem and are interested on solving the issue in the best possible way, Thanks again.
