Bug Description

Nautilus deletes all selected files after pressing 'del' without warning. Some notebook keyboard layouts are bad designed to press 'del' by accident. Sometimes you don't recognize that you have moved some files to the trash by accidentally pressing 'del'.
So nautilus should warn by default before deleting files after pressing 'del'.

If it's done, it's should be easy to disable the warning - for those of us with properly designed keyboards :)
