      Good to see someone else using trash & bat. Kudos for the clean alias file w/ commented headers too! I just started doing it recently and it makes edits/additions so much easier

          Care to elaborate?

          For me, it once caused an issue once when I thought I was deleting files to make space for /boot/efi/ being at capacity (dual booting issues at the time) when in actuality I was just moving files to an impromptu trash can created on /boot/efi (so the lack of space remained the same lol), but on numerous occasions, it has actually saved my ass and allowed me to retrieve documents that I realized I needed to look at again.

          The only other quirk is it straight up ignores all options, so I’ve tried to delete interactively (rm -i) and then had to use trash-list to view the deleted files

            Maybe I’m being a little paranoid, but I DID accidentally delete a few directories with dotenvs in them, which is what led me to find trash in the first place. That experience really traumatized me… so to break the rm habit and make sure I don’t do that on ANY computer I set up abbr rm '# Don\'t use this! Use trash-cli instead' # and abbr t trash.

              I try to keep backups of almost everything, so even if I accidentally delete something and only notice after a clear the trash, there is still a chance I will recover the missing pieces.

        Thanks. It’s not the prettiest, but I try to keep an order of some kind… My zshrc was getting quite large, so I split it and when I did that I also put in some comments and headers.
