Internal viewer Delete default shortcut F8

#1 Post by Dreamer » 03.07.2022, 14:55

It's not a bug, but it can be danger, and at least not user friendly, especially for new users, Windows Explorer users.

F8 is not a standard shortcut for delete in Windows and even for the main FC window F8 shortcut is not used, Delete is used here.

I think it should be changed from F8 to Delete.

Advanced users who are used to F8 can change it easily.

FC is not defined to be a 1:1 replacement for Windows Explorer.
F8 for Delete is standard for many populare file managers for a very long time.
Total Commander as one example.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3296)
Everything Version 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.67
FreeCommander XE 2024 Build 905 64-bit donor

Delete with F8 has been in good old Norten Commander since the mid 80s of the last millennium

Of course, I know that, but I think I explained the reasons why it should not be a default shortcut in viewer, just that it's different as in the main FC window.
