Hello. I'm using inkscape 0.48.4.r9939 on Windows 7 64bit (AMD PhenomII).

I have a question about short cut key of Inkscape.
I know that simple delete key is assigned as two functions which are
"Selector Backspace, Del delete selection "
and
"Node tool Backspace, Del delete selected node(s)".

I thought that delete key is too far from left hand position and tried to arrange it on 'e' key.
I edited
C:\Users\(user)\AppData\Roaming\inkscape\keys\default.xml
and appended
<bind key="e" action="EditDelete"/>
as
<bind key="Delete" action="EditDelete" display="TRUE"/>
to default.xml.

When I tested 'e' key , 'e' key had the function of "Selector Backspace, Del delete selection " but not "Node tool Backspace, Del delete selected node(s) ".

Now I have a question.

1) Can I set "Node tool Backspace, Del delete selected node(s) " to any key with default.xml ?
if possible, can I set "Node tool Backspace, Del delete selected node(s) " function to same key for "Selector Backspace, Del delete selection " ?

Hello:
See to the end of this page:

I can't see any problem about what you want.

Maybe You already solved your problem...

Hello hulf2012

Thank you for your reply and I have a question.



"Node tool Backspace, Del delete selected node(s)" is described as attached Delete.png.

"Node tool Backspace, Del delete selected node(s)" can delete node points which is selected under "Node tool" and it is connected to "Delete" key under default key binding.
Important factor of my question is " Can I set this function to any other key with default.xml shortcut key binding? "
And I could not get clue from any other XXXX.xml for shortcut by myself.
I know that "Add Nodes" extension can be set with default.xml but there is no "Delete Nodes" in my extensions.
If you have suitable "Delete Nodes" extension for this function, information , how to make it , is encouraged.
