Hacking FinderHack: CMD-DEL for System 7.1

[JDW]

I wonder if it is the application launching, or the control panel.

More than 50% of that 4-5 seconds is the AppleScript "application" launching.

Do you know if the bulk of that [memory usage] is EZ-Keys? Or AppleScript.

It's almost all AppleScript.

If a knowledgeable person were to write a one-trick pony Extension in Assembly language that would put selected items into the Trash when CMD-DEL is pressed, that would likely be the smallest and fastest solution. But patience is a virtue, and for now, the AppleScript 1.1 + EZ-Keys method does work.

I'm not sure that much effort is worth it for saving a couple of seconds, you're asking a lot of someone - you're potentially asking someone to patch the OS. Plus something probably already exists.
