are there any keyboard shortcuts to empty the trash? It would be pretty cool if I could just press F4 or something and boom, emptied. Anyone know how to make a shortcut icon to do empty it? Because if so then I could just add my own keyboard shortcut to that.

Works really well. I've got it set to one of the media/internet buttons on my keyboard.
