I hate to be stubborn about this, but in two other programs--Rox and  
Terminal--the Delete key does just that, but if there is no shortcut and  
the key is pressed, it becomes the shortcut, just as I wish for it to in  
this case.

I don't know what they do differently, but I just wanted to make mention  
that it's possible.

Thanks,
