Description

I would like to be able to permanently delete files from the tree view instead of moving them to the trash, similar to Nautilus's implementation in which the user may enable a second delete option, "Delete Permanently", beneath "Move to Trash" and mapped to Shift+Del.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Right click on a file in Tree View
2. Locate "Delete"

Expected behavior: A "Delete Permanently" option is located beneath "Delete"

Actual behavior: There is no "Delete Permanently" option

Reproduces how often: Always

Because we treat our issues list as the Atom team's backlog, we close duplicates to focus our work and not have to touch the same chunk of code for the same reason multiple times. This is also why we may mark something as duplicate that isn't an exact duplicate but is closely related.

For information on how to use GitHub's search feature to find out if something is a duplicate before filing, see the How Can I Contribute? section of the Atom CONTRIBUTING guide.

Whoops! Sorry about that. I did try to ensure that I wasn't creating a duplicate, but that one was a little too subtle for me 😉
