You got a point.  No, we don't need such thing.

No, it's not easy to let the today's students who are too much adapted to
windows etc.   I experienced it, I'm still trying though.

I got a conviction that we can implement mouse left+middle chode
to delete or copy a file object in a directory window.   I at first
worried about it's too easy action to delete it in mistake, that is we
have to prepare some safety net for it.   This is the reason why
I considered trash can.
