File deletion dialog – "Cancel" button has default focus insted of "OK"

[Gerhard Hofmann]

Hi all,

I have found a little annoyance when it comes to deletion of files and trying to work with the keyboard only (and not with the mouse)

–> working in either right or left pane and open a folder
–> mark all files in the folder with “+” key and then “ENTER” key
–> deletion dialog appears… so far so good…
–> I hit “ENTER” button expecting that file deletion will now follow
–> file deletion dialog will close, but files will *not* be deleted because the file deletion dialog has the “cancel” button pre-selected

Of course I could jump to the “OK” button first using TAB sequences but I suppose it happened by accident that the “cancel” button has the focus here.

Regards
Gerhard Hofmann

Hi Gerhard,

The focus of the Cancel button is made intentionnally to avoid accidental removal of files.
I recognize it could be annoying though, as the confirmation dialog box is already enough to double check.

I’ll adapt this behaviour in the next release.

Thank you for your feedback
