#3203 closed defect (fixed)

pressing DEL deletes Layer instead of objects

Description

in 1917 a new feature was introduced - the ability to delete layers by pressing DEL. Turns out this is not very handy since DEL is used to delete objects as well (and this won't be changed easily in usage). Every time you press DEL to remove an unwanted object, you'll now remove a layer, which is very annoying. Deleting objects is only possible by using the menus...

Temporary workaround to keep using your keyboard instead of your mouse: assign Shift-DEL to "Edit: Delete" and restart josm.

Deleting objects will happen more often than deleting a layer, so I suggest to use Shift-DEL for the layers (and because it's more intuitive to use DEL for a "simple" remove action).

  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

I've disabled it in r1919 (no DEL on layers anymore).

Don't understand yet what's going on, will have to dig into it later.
