I'm with you ...

Actually I like to push a button much more instead of point and click. I use the freeware Spark for that to.

Unfortunately there is no free F-button left on the new MacBook Pro, so now I have to push fn-F12, but still much faster then to target the trash, right-click an choose emty trash.

All you have to do is press.
cmd+shift+delete

This will empty your trash without any applescript coding. I'm kind of surprised that this wasn't brought up before.

Command-shift-delete is used by some applications for a different purpose than emptying trash. For example, in the old outliner More (that I used for twelve years), that keystroke combination merged two topic headings.

The Script Menu method works with every application that retains the menu bar.
