Gnome 3 Desktop Settings

Change Window Manager Settings

Customize the Menu

alacarte is a menu editor for the GNOME desktop, written in python.

"Del"-Key does not work in Nautilus

Run dconf-editor, and open:
org -> gnome -> desktop -> interface
Enable "can-change-accels".

Open nautilus, select any file/directory, then click "Edit" from menubar, and hover on "Move to Trash" menuitem. While hovering, click on your delete key. The accel should change from "cntrl+del" to "del".

Make sure you have selected a file, else the "Move to Trash" menuitem will be greyed out.

I suggest you disable "can-change-accels" afterwards, to prevent accidental accel changes.

Delete old tracker data
