The list was actually meant as "steps" (out of the problematic shortcut model), not as "alternatives".

I believe that "Shift+Del deletes directly" concept is too established to be addressed directly, so the big line would be to establish a non-conflicting default without breaking things for the MS savvys (and if some CUA dog asks why that stupid shortcut is provided as default alternative shortcut, we can just blame MS and swear a bit to make him happy ;-)

Cheers,
Thomas
