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.

Is that right?
