Description
Like in many file managers, delete will send to trash and shift + delete will just delete the file. Having something like this would be nice in Hydrus, although Hydrus has many other deletion methods so having the ability to add a shortcut to any of them would be ideal. This would speed up workflow a lot for the advanced deletion methods as currently it is a nice feature but it is kind of a pain to have to select the reason each time.

Research direction
Start by tracing Hydrus's existing deletion methods and keyboard shortcut handling; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Compare the normal trash action with advanced deletion reasons, then determine how shortcuts could map to those methods. Done means shortcuts can invoke selected deletion methods without repeatedly choosing a reason.
