Scott's critique is 100% correct.
I think a button for deletion should be visible. If you can make space in every single table item, surely you can make space outside the table.

That's what I currently have. I have an off-screen button (with the key equivalent set to delete) which deletes the currently selected item. Its off-screen because there isn't a convenient place for the button and I'm working with a small sheet.

I was worried that this wouldn't be all that intuitive and that people would be unable to remove items. Is this unfounded?

I humbly suggest you reconsider this design. Having a delete button in every row is not very Mac-like at all.


The usual model for the user is to select one or more items, then click a single delete button elsewhere (or press the delete key). It works this way in virtually every popular app so it's the behavior most users expect.
