+Move all files in the selection to the trash using rifle. Rifle tries to use a
+trash manager like I<trash-cli> if available but will fall back to moving files
+to either F<$XDG_DATA_HOME/ranger-trash> or F<~/.ranger/ranger-trash>. This is
+a less permanent version of I<delete>, relying on the user to clear out the
+trash whenever it's convenient. While having the possibility of restoring
+trashed files until this happens. ranger will ask for a confirmation if you
+attempt to trash multiple (marked) files or non-empty directories. This can be
