   I'm excited about this bash alias (anybody see any issues with it?):

   trash() {
   mv "$@" ~/.local/share/Trash/files/
   }

     @ntnsndr Back in the day (~2010?) there was `gvfs-remove`, but these days it looks like it's spelled `gio trash`.

     When I tried to replicate gvfs-remove's behavior w/ a script similar to yours, the biggest thing that jumps out at me is the possibility of accidentally overwriting files in the trashcan when deleting an identically-named file; instead of adding an "(n)" suffix (eg "filename (2).txt"). If you care about not losing things enough to do trash from the CLI, you probably care about this.

     @lukeshu @ntnsndr I actually already expanded the script to change the filename if one exists
