break-word;">Some of the actions in context menu are shown only when the Shift key is \
pressed. We were wondering, if this were okay at all, and if yes, which hint would be \
better.
To explain a bit more:
in Amarok 2.5, the context menu (of a track, album etc.) used to have all the options \
(among others):
* Copy to Collection ->
* Move to Collection ->
* Move to Trash
* Delete
With goal to (a) make accidental data-loss (or unwanted effect) harder for novice \
users (b) make the context menu simpler, a fancy "hold Shift to swich to \
move/dangerous operations" behaviour was implemented:
- without Shift held:
* Copy to Collection -> [with "Press Shift key for ..." tooltip]
* Move to Trash [with "Press Shift key for ..." tooltip]
- with Shift key held (updates itself immediately after pressing the key):
* Move to Collection ->
* Delete
However, we discovered that discoverability (hehe) is really a problem when even \
experienced long-term Amarok users didn't know about the way to trigger \
Move/Delete. What would be the best approach here?</pre> </td>
