--- Comment #4 from cluebat <cluebat at mailinator.com> ---
If there was a confirmation before clearing, some way to undo, or a way to edit
the key bindings, then I wouldn't mind the shortcuts. As it is, these shortcuts
punish mot only new users but anyone who dares make a typo. It took less than a
week of use to accidentally discover these shortcuts. I looked for any other
way to change them before making the patch. The use case is extremely minimal
and there are other functions that are likely more frequently used that have no
shortcut, so why attach shortcuts to functions with destructive potential and a
minimal use case? Is there really anybody that needs to clear all their windows
so frequently as to need a shortcut without even a confirmation? The function
still exists in the menu for the rare occasion it may be useful. If anyone
really wants to keep the shortcuts, then I implore them to provide an alternate
patch which adds a confirmation. I compare this to a file manager that has
select all and delete as a single function without confirmation. I don't think
it's a stretch to say anyone with common sense would consider that bad design.
The effect is the same, data is gone with no way to get it back.
