recycle bin

rovr can send files to the OS’s native recycle bin instead of deleting them outright, and comes with a built-in browser to inspect, restore, or purge what’s in there.

sending files to the recycle bin

on the delete confirmation screen, choose “trash” instead of “delete” to move the selection to the recycle bin rather than removing it permanently.

• pressing d (or your configured keybind) trashes the selection instead of deleting it

see keybindings for the full list of delete-related binds.

accessing the recycle bin

a "Trash" pin is added to the pinned sidebar by default, above your other pinned folders.

• click the “Trash” pin, or highlight it and press enter, to open the recycle bin browser instead of navigating into a directory

browsing the recycle bin

the browser lists every trashed entry with its icon, original location, deletion time, and size. selection works the same as the file list (space to toggle, v to select a range, and so on).

action	default	vim	sane	description
restore	r	r	r	restore the selected entries to their original location
purge	x	x	D	permanently delete the selected entries
empty	E	E	E	permanently empty the entire recycle bin
cancel	c / escape	c / escape	escape	close the browser

configuration

customize the recycle bin browser’s keybinds in your configuration file:

[keybinds.trash]
restore = ["r"]
purge = ["x"]
empty = ["E"]
cancel = ["c", "escape"]

these are separate from the delete keybinds used on the delete confirmation screen.
