Is there any way to get Blender to delete faces more quickly?  Pressing X or Delete always brings up the Delete menu, which provides some options.  Is there any way to make Blender know that when I select a face, and then X or Delete, I want just that face gone, without always having to deal with the delete menu to confirm that?

I know when I ALT-X to delete an edge, I can choose to also dissolve verts, which is what I want 90 percent of the time, so I keep that option ticked, and it won't bother me again.  Doesn't seem to be an option to get that quicker way of deleting faces.
