I think Jan pitched to change that ;-)

> Dolphin is doing wrong with Shift+Del for delete
One has to admit that this assignment is rather popular due to the windows 
explorer - I assume Jan intended to turn it into some delete+expunge for 
Trojitá.


Don't ask me what to do - The situation is in one word: crap.
And it's *really* all MS fault (this time)

The predominantly known copy shortcut is ctrl+c which is the shortcut for 
SIGINT and the predominant idea of shift+del is "force delete" while it's 
"actually" "cut".

So it's impossible to have a coherent (established) shortcut system w/o 
running into conflicts :-(

Right now dolphin ("explorer") and konsole (terminal emulator) are the 
"exots" - maybe it's really best to keep both systems mandatory and declare 
every deviation a (more or less reasonable) HIG violation *shrug*

Cheers,
