Description
This feature would allow the user to do a "soft delete". Meaning they would mark a file for deletion, it would disappear from the UI but will not actually be deleted from the filesystem.
When the user exits the app, the app should give a list of these files marked for deletion and ask the user if they want to delete them.
Optionally, a "delete marked files" shortcut can also be added.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the terminal UI handles file deletion and how the app processes its exit flow. Define how marked files disappear from the UI, remain on the filesystem, and are presented for confirmation when the app exits; the optional shortcut is a separate consideration. Done means the full mark, review, and confirmation behavior works without deleting files prematurely.
