Empty the trash from any application via AppleScript
Authored by: Mac Berry on Sep 27, '09 09:54:58PM

I think you're right that the hint is specifically about adding a keyboard shortcut, but the hint title, and in fact the hint itself, doesn't say that, it's just implied.

The comments about being able to use the scripts or contextual menus are perfectly reasonable responses to the hint title and it's first sentence. The title suggests you can't empty the trash from any application, whereas in fact you can.

Anyway, even if you are keyboard centric, I personally think this hint is a little OTT, unless you have so little disk space that you need to empty the Trash every 5 minutes. If you do, or simply don't like to use the trash, what you really need is a Windows like option to permanently delete immediately.
