Description Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-04-20 04:18:44 UTC

This is a spin off from (or may be DUP of or related to) 
"Bug 36101 - HELP: Edit> Cut and the clipboard"
where I had too many problems whether the reporter saw a problem with HELP or LibO behavior.

Shift+Del is explained with "Deletes the selected item(s) without putting them in the recycle bin." I never heard something about a "recycle bin" for "del", I only know "undo" and "clipboard".
I believe the correct explication would be:
Shift+Del does the same as Cntrl+X: Puts marked contents to the clipboard and then deletes it.

In Help for EditPad Lite I read:
Shift+Delete: Alternative shortcut for Edit|Cut
Edit|Cut: Deletes the current selection and places it on the Windows clipboard...

I believe it's the same with LOCALHELP in the help packages.

I did some test and saw that in WRITER and Spreadsheet <shift>+<del> DOES NOT WORK as in my proposed Help text, for this I will file a new report.
EditPad, Seamonkey and some other WIN applications I tested work as expected

Currently I can not reproduce my statement "... DOES NOT
WORK as in my proposed Help text ..."

During my tests for 
Bug 36419 - EDITING: <Shift>+<Delete> does not work reliable as expected
shortcut worked as expected.

I think these shourtcuts (Del, Shift+Del, and Backspace) refer to a file manager component. At least in Windows Explorer these shorcuts work just like as described in LibreOffice help. But LibreOffice does not have its own file manager. Maybe once upon a time StarOffice had one. So I removed these dubious entries from help.
