Just fixed a small typo in the action docstsring. |
This action attempts to find a common trash executable (currently "trash" or "gio" in that order) and performs a blocking system call via vim.fn.system to trash each file or directory selected in the file browser. Like actions.remove, refuses to trash parent directory or current working directory.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
trash from trash-cli does not accept --, so this makes the command always "fail" (although it does still trash the file).

That was a regression now fixed in the most recent version: andreafrancia/trash-cli#303 (comment)
Regardless I believe the -- is unnecessary since we are using absolute paths. Looking back I also think putting all the filenames into a single command would be much faster.

any progress on this one? |

tbh, I'm very hesitant on merging this. |

More info:
I really love this plugin! I'm a big fan of avoiding unlinking and using the system trash as much as possible and I think this action would be a valuable asset to the plugin, especially for users who aren't great at Lua or searching GitHub issues but want to use trash for removal. I saw #169 and adapted the
removeaction and the work posted by @paveloom. I see there was some interest in adding it to the plugin if a good PR was written.I think adding a new action is the most appropriate because it completely avoids accidentally breaking
actions.remove. To make it even easier for users there could be an extension option calleduse_trash_for_removalor something which could make the default binding forduseactions.trashinstead ofactions.remove.The
giocommand is a good backup because many Linux systems already have theglib2package installed which provides it.I tested locally with only
trashavailable, onlygioavailable, and neither installed. Worked great for me. I'm running Linux so I don't know how effective this plugin would be on Mac and Windows, but if neither of those executables are there it will fail fast and do nothing with a nice warning message. Please feel free to correct me on anything.Prior art:
