[SOLVED] ncmpcpp: deleting files

How do I delete files in ncmpcpp?  I'm pretty sure I was able to do it in a recent version but now I can't figure it out after upgrading to 0.6.1.

Here's a sample of the hotkeys I see listed when I press F1.  Note that the entry for "Delete selected items from disk" is blank.

    Backspace Ctrl-H : Jump to parent directory
                     : Delete selected items from disk
    G                : Jump to playlist editor (playlists only)

I've enabled "allow_for_physical_item_deletion".  Here's the whole config for good measure:

mpd_host                         = "127.0.0.1"
mpd_port                         = "6600"
mpd_music_dir                    = "/music/old_hdd"
ignore_leading_the               = "yes"
song_columns_list_format         = "(7f)[green]{l} (9f)[white]{C} (25)[cyan]{a} (40)[]{t} (30)[red]{b}"
browser_display_mode             = "columns"
playlist_display_mode            = "columns"
lines_scrolled                   = "10"
mouse_list_scroll_whole_page     = "no"
empty_tag_marker                 = -
allow_for_physical_item_deletion = "yes"

Re: [SOLVED] ncmpcpp: deleting files

That's an overlook, this action is not bound by default to any key (it will be fixed in 0.6.2). For now you can create custom bindings file and put

def_key "delete"
  delete_playlist_items
  
def_key "delete"
  delete_browser_items
  
def_key "delete"
  delete_stored_playlist

there to fix the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] ncmpcpp: deleting files

Thank you sir.  I figured I was missing something obvious which is why I came here instead of submitting a bug report.
