Reenabling the Delete Key in Gnome 3 Nautilus
In Nautilus Gnome 2, the Delete key used to send selected items to the trash. To do the same in Gnome 3, you now have to use the shortcut: Ctrl+Delete. That's kind of annoying. To change it back, grab dconf-editor from the repos if you don't have it.
Run it in a terminal
Go toorg > gnome > desktop > interface and check can-change-accels . This will let you dynamically change keyboard shortcuts to menu commands.
Now open up Nautilus and select a file. Open theEdit menu, hover the mouse over the Move to Trash menu item (don't press, just hover!) and hit your delete key twice (the first press disables the previous shortcut the second enables the new one).
That's it! At this point I highly recommend uncheckingcan-change-accels so that you don't accidently change any other shortcuts.

Great advice. Thank you!
Works on Fedora 16 x64. thanks!
Excellent, this is going to come in handy :)
Super cool. Thanks for this trick!
Any ideas for gnome-shell 3.6.x? There's no apparent file menu...
I still haven't upgraded to F18. I'll let you know when I do that and take a look at Nautilus.
As and when you do "upgrade" you will find a whole host of really annoying changes that seem to be counter-intuitive. My advice would simply install the Nemo file manager as it handles the delete key normally. In fact it does everything "normally" as Nautilus once did.
It is so sad that we have to find workarounds for things that everybody seems to hate. Also, most people won't be able to find this workaround.
:-(
