Description

Is it possible to undo operations?
Also, when delete to trash option is on, is it possible to remove the confirmation dialogue? It's much faster and convenient (but not less safe) to undo an occasional mistaken delete (say, 10% of the time), rather than have an extra confirmation to perform 100% of the time.
Lack of this feature is the major drawback of many other "advanced" file managers. Hopefully fman will not be one of those :)
