Command-Delete behavior

I like to use command-delete in the finder to get rid of files that I don't need, especially in combination with preview. However, once I delete an item, the highlight disappears (i.e. nothing is selected in the finder window). Is there a way to configure the behavior of command-delete such that it moves the selection to the next item down in the list?

This behavior is not configurable? I'm amazed that there's not a way to delete a string of items sequentially, having a chance to view each one before deleting.

Command delete no longer moves to highlight next filename, What gives?

I often rapidly review filenames in my documents folder using the down arrow in the tree view with a preview of the documents first page at the right ( what follows also applies to the album view). In snow leopard I could use command delete on a filename and the OS would immediately move the highlight down to the next doc in the alpha list. In Lion when I delete any highlighting of filenames entirely disappears and will not reappear till a click on a new filename.
Needless to say this slows down my quick review & deletions to a snails pace. This cannot be an improvement in the interface unless Apple thinks we have all become dimwitted enought to repeatedly hit the delelte without looking.

You are asking why command-delete doesn't highlight the next file after the one you just deleted?
I don't know what "Album view" means, but in the Cover Flow view the desired behavior occurs on my computer.

Command+Delete Shortcut!

Hello,
I have noticed that the command+delete shortcut does not work on Mac OS Server, is this a normal behavior or is it just my system. Is there a way to set it up?
Appreciate any help on this matter.

Camelot:
Thank you for your response!
I do not have thirdparty software, I am aware of, that is over-riding short-cut commands in the system. Regarding the system preferences, are you refering to "Keyboard Shortcuts?"
As far as I know, the "Keyboard Shortcut" pereferences does not have an option for Move to Trash to tamper with? However, under the File menu, in Finder, I see that the move to Trash action has the correct shortcut, command+delete. Unless I am missing something here, I am not sure where else to look for such preferences. This is really annoying!
I hope there is away to reset it!!!!

What is the difference between 'command delete' and using 'delete original and all versions'?

My masters are not referenced and I usually have only one version. What is the difference between using 'command delete' versus going to the top menu bar and using 'dele

Good question .
When the Version is the only Version based on the Original of that Version, the two commands have the same effect.

How can I change the key to delete a message from the delete key to command-delete like it is in the finder?

These new forums confuse me... Sorry.
I often think I am typing in another window but I'm actually typing while Mail.app is selected. When I discover this, I often (without really thinking) start whacking the delete key. When I whack the delete key, of course, a message is moved to the trash. So, without really thinking about it, I delete three to six messages. Go ahead -- call me stupid. But...
If delete is not used to delete files in the Finder, then why is it used to delete files in Mail?
One group suggested making customer keyboard macros. Sounded like a plausible solution. I could make a customer keyboard macro so that delete did nothing (or something benign) and make command-delete delete the message. Alas, using the Apple => System Preferences => Keyboard => Keyboard Shortcuts => Application Shortcuts gave me no Joy because it won't let me do either of those. When I try to enter either delete or command-delete into the "Keyboard Shortcut" box, it just beeps at me.
Does anyone here have a suggestion?
Thank you,
pedz
p.s. I can get the deleted messages back using Undo (repeatedly) but I think that is new with Lion. So life isn't tragic but it still is an interface that I'd like to change if I could.

You can define your own custom keystrokes in System Preferences -> Keyboard. I'm not 100% sure that this blocks the old keystroke, though, and am posting from my iPad and can't check that at the moment.

Command+Delete not working in iTunes 10.1.2

Just noticed this since updating. The 'Delete' option under 'Edit' is not selectable and the Command+Delete option yields no results.
Anyone else have this problem?

It's been intermittently working for me. Dragging the song to the Trash does not work either. Usually a restart takes care of it but I've also repaired permissions as well as an Archive and Install of the OS. Odd.

Command Delete shortcut not working

When I try to send files to the trash from Finder, the Command & Delete button combo that usually work, refuse to work now. Does anyone have any idea on how to get this working again? If i click on the file, i can manually move it to the trash. Just a pain because I need to delete files rather frequently. Thanks!

Was having the same problem and this fixed it.
Go to System Preferences>Keyboard and Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts and click the "Restore Defaults" button. Worked for me!
Best,

Command-delete, command-left and command-right not working as expected

On a Mac (in my case OS X 10.6.8) when entering text into a text-field or text-box 'command-delete' in any other application deletes everything between the cursor and the beginning of the current line. I'm using Firefox 10.0.1 and this does not work.
Also, in certain rich text editors such as Gmail's compose mail text-box 'command-left' and 'command-right' which would usually jump to the respective beginning or end of the current line doesn't seem to work.

Spry with DW insert, modify and delete behaviors

I posted this question before and didn't get a response. I'm
wondering if there is any documentation available for using Spry
with DW insert, modify and delete behaviors? I'd like to be able to
perform these functions without having to go from list to master to
detail page as in traditional ASP etc. According to Alex July at
Linecraft this is one of "many hidden features" in Spry.

Here you can find an article that covers data update:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/edit_data_in_ajax.html
The server-side code is CFML, but the concept is the same.
A more complete demo, with search, insert, update and delete
is available

Command Server Behavior in CS4 Troubled

Does anyone know what happened to the Command server behavior in CS4.
When I use MX 2004 to create an Update Command, I get the following code on the page:
set Command1 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
Command1.ActiveConnection = MM_sportstest_STRING
Command1.CommandText = "UPDATE board SET name = 'test' WHERE name IS NULL"
Command1.CommandType = 1
Command1.CommandTimeout = 0
Command1.Prepared = true
Command1.Execute()
When I use CS4 to create the same Update Command, I get the following code on the page:
Dim Command1__@@varName@@
Command1__@@varName@@ = "@@defaultValue@@"
If (@@runtimeValue@@ <> "") Then
Command1__@@varName@@ = @@runtimeValue@@
End If
Set Command1 = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Command1.ActiveConnection = MM_sportstest_STRING
Command1.CommandText = "UPDATE board SET name = "test' WHERE name IS NULL"
Command1.CommandType = 1
Command1.CommandTimeout = 0
Command1.Prepared = true
Command1.Execute()
CS4 does not even recognize the resulting code as a Command in the Server Behaviors window. If I open both pages in MX 2004, the MX 2004 page is interpreted, but not the CS4 page.
It looks like CS4 is not able to create Update Commands nor any other type of Command server behavior. I am using ASP/VBScript.
Does anyone have any insight to this.......or is it just a bug in CS4??
Mike

I'm having the same problem. I cannot create any new commands, In addition, CS4 will not recognize any of the commands that were created from DW8 and prior versions.

Make "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior)...

Please make Photoshop's "step backward" command maintain current layer selection (like the "undo" command's behavior). So that when using the "step backward" to undo something it doesn't unnecessarily select a different layer . The current "step backward" layer change issue is inconvenient because it causes unnexpected layer selection change.

Has this happened yet ( an upgrade that fixes the step back layer switch problem ) in any updates?
Arghhh very annoying.

When you Command+Delete an App in iTunes, you can't Transfer Purchases?

When you delete an App from iTunes using right+click and delete option, you have some checkboxes to agree and than your app will be deleted. When you do this, you can Transfer Purchases from your iPhone, and you will get back that app deleted.
But when you Command+Delete an App in iTunes, you can't Transfer Purchases to get back that deleted app. Why is this happening? How can I get back the Apps from my iPhone without re-downloading it from AppStore?
Thanks

Command + delete not working in Preview

I use the Command + Delete keyboard shortcut all the time on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion to quickly delete multiple images in preview. The shortcut seems to be disabled on my iMac running SL, however. To the best of my knowledge it used to work before. How do I fix this?

⌫ is the symbol for the erase to the left (normal delete) key
⌦ is the symbol for the erase to the right (sometimes, also labeled delete) key

To delete a file, must I drag it to the trash? or can it be deleted with keystrokes such as Command/delete?

To delete a file, must I drag it to the trash, or can it be deleted with keystrokes such as Command/delete?
2nd: How to get rid of a program? Some seem to come with an uninstall file in the folder. Others do not. Will it require dragging the application and its files to the trash? or will that be incomplete? Thanks.

Most files will let you delete with the delete key if highlighted. I mostly right click on a file and choose Move To Trash.
Depending on what program it is determines how to delete it. Some are just as simple as moving to the trash. Some have uninstallers which remove them. It's best to google each application when you want to delete one to find out if it has an uninstaller and how to completely remove them. I always check to be sure to completely remove it.

I have a MacBook Air using Maverick. I have files in the trash I want to recover. I do not have "Put Back" and Command Delete does not work.

I have a MacBook Air using Maverick. I have files in the trash I want to recover to their original files. I do not have "Back Up" and "Command + Delete" does not work.

Drag them out of the Trash and put them in their original location. Put Back may work on one file at a time.
