Bug Description
Binary package hint: system-
The printing queue can make simple user's live quite hard for the following reasons:
- It seems you can only delete one job at a time. If for some reason 400 wrong jobs were started, happy clicking.
- You cannot delete jobs with the keyboard and need at least two clicks per job,
- Command names are somewhat ambiguous. I have "Delete" and "Abort" for each job and they seem to do exactly the same thing.
I propose the following solution:
- We could make it possible to select multiple jobs so that you can delete them at once.
- We could register a handler on the Del key to trigger job deletion.
- We could remove one of the ambiguous entries in case they are equivalent.
