Hi all!
I just found that after my latest updates to 14.0.10 I lost the

Pressing "<shift>+<DEL>"

Does somebody else see this, too?

I just upgraded a couple days ago, and I don't have that problem.
Everything works the same as before.
The problem, however, may reside in the flash drive itself, and the
fat32

filesystem. I've had problems with both flash drives and SD cards:
sometimes they mount and behave normally, sometimes not. Do you have
the

delete function when you are using Konqueror with non-fat drives,
such

as

your
other

hard drives?
You might dig up your konquerorrc file, where the delete function
can be
...
...
...
...

set or unset. You might be able to override other changes by
changing
...
...
...
...

that file.

Stock formatted usb and SD cards do exhibit problems like that in
general.

That's why I always format them with linux before use. I never have a
problem after that.
NTFS, when I have to use that crap, sometimes will. HFS doesn't give

much of a problem, less than NTFS more than fat32.
Try clean formatting the drives before use and make use you chown to
your

user just in case.

You misunderstood. Format the drives, using linux, TO fat32. They will
work on

windows and apple [*SHUDDER of horror*] etc. It's just that linux does 
a "clean" format with no empty  spaces or oddities.

Sorry to say, neither does work. I tried it as "superdisk" or with one
partion, the result is the same - "Move to trash" is greyed out and <DEL> 
does not work (<shift>+<DEL> does work).
...
I tried ext4, too, with the very same behaviour, so it's not filesystem
specific. File creation works without problems.
...
What's also strange: the konqeror is not notified about changes on that
filesystem, e.g. if I create a new file it is not visible in konqueror till I 
press "F5".
...
Oh, I have "udisks2" as helper.

Ok Doc,
Try this. See if it's still greyed out as root or another freshly created 
user.
Maybe a weird perms problem. See it before. Drives me bloody mad.
