Bug#696720: nautilus: Pressing delete should delete a file or folder.

Package: nautilus
Version: 3.4.2-1+build1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

When I have selected a file or folder, and I press the delete button, it would
be most intuitive if the file was then moved to the wastbasket. This would
allow faster use of nautilus, as it is much faster than using a menu, or even
ctrl-delete. Since it is so easy to undo moving a file to the waste, there
would not be a serious risk of people losing data by accidentally pressing
delete.
