How to undo file deletion?

cmd+z doesn't seem to work. And there is no Undo option in the context menu (when I click RMB on the file tree or Edit tab above the editor).

It hasn't been implemented in Zed yet. You can find the corresponding feature request in #5039. Be sure to +👍.

I love Zed, but really??

I only now realising that this is a feature that doesn't exist. I've just lost about an hour of changes because I selected the wrong files for deletion.

Also no Undo File Rename. If renaming would automatically update imports in other files, I would be panicked by inability to undo the change.

+1 this. This is a terrible idea to provide a "Trash" and "Delete" actions side by side without the way of undoing the last one. Just posting out of frustration - thankfully, there was only a handful of files I accidentally deleted, not days worth of work.

I just lost probably 8 hours of focused work due to this. I never thought my text editor would have an irreversible delete option so easily available and I was tidying up some code before making a commit so I renamed a file then deleted an outdated file, but whoops I had selected delete the new file by accident.

No problem. I'll just Ctrl+Z. Ah, that's not a feature in Zed. No problem I'll just check the trash, but nope the 'Delete' feature skips the trash. Well I'll get it with git, ah that's right I just renamed the file. Well I'll use Time Machine, but that's right this is a new Mac and I forgot to set that up yet.

So now I'm running a file disk scan with some tool that tries to recover files from the filesystem, but I don't expect it to work.

This design in Zed is atrocious! It's a massive footgun cocked and loaded waiting for people as unlucky as myself to delete tons of their work.
