in thunar, edit->configure custom actions


create a new action create delete directly (or whatever you want to call it)


set an icon, and for command just use 'rm %F' without the quotes, if you use %f then only the first selected file will be deleted.


i would still like to figure a way on how to delete the trash all together, but for now, thats enough for me.

btw, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace also works for this, no modification required.


of course that leaves me wondering what key-combo restarts the desktop environment, but I don't care enough about that one to figure it out.


Edit: Sorry, my mistake - Ctrl-Alt-Backspace will move to trash... Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Backspace will permanently delete.
