Well, this is how it works on Windows. If you delete a local file, it's sent 
to trash and if  it's on the network, it's deleted.

Anyway, I use the Delete a lot with my mouse, and am very happy that there's 
an option to enable the entry in a convenient way. Shift+Delete is a nasty 
combination on this laptop.

To Guillaume : you talk about the vast majority that can't decide which option 
to use. Well, if  this user is using the fish:// protocol and wants to delete 
a file ( and other protocols like ftp too) then how should this user have to 
find out how to delete a file ? Or is this a bug ? 

If this option is deleted from the menu because the menu was getting too big, 
then why not solve it like it is done in Windows? Here, only the most often 
used options are shown.
Or was the decision because the not-knowing user don't know what to choose ? I 
doubt if that is true

Regards,
Edwin
