On a few pages, I'm sure. Let me make sure I have the proposal straight: * In 3.0, make Del do nothing, Ctrl+Del deletes (moves to trash). Shift+Del would still be the keybinding for permanent delete? * In 3.2, Undo (Ctrl+Z?) will restore the file you just deleted. It's just a quick shortcut, and the trash otherwise works as it always has.
