Can we have another dired keybinding for move-file-to-trash?
(e.g., `b', with companion `% b'. This can be called dired-do-bury).
IMO, both delete and move-file-to-trash are useful.
Personally, I use move-file-to-$HOME/tmp (instead of trash), which is a
swamp of probably unused-for-a-while files. Most downloaded stuff
initially get there, too, as well as quick random hacks and tests. When
I get a chance to do `file management', I browse the swamp and pick
useful items and put them somewhere meaningful.
