delete a file in the navigation menu

[rspike12]

Hi

is it possible to directly delete a file in the navigation menu setting a keyboard button to do it (backspace for example).

I 'll explain better:

 

I browse my downloads folder in the alfred navigation menu, to delete a file I have to press the tab button to enter in the options panel (Copy to, move to, delete, email to etc...) and then I can delete the file but Alfred menu bar goes away. 

I need a way to delete multiple files, the better way IMHO is to have the way to set a button (for example the backspace) to do so instead of entering another menu options to make an action on the file.

 

Is there a way to do it?

Take a look at the file buffer here: https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/file-search/

You can press ⌥ ↑  to add files etc to the file buffer and then press ⌥ → to make an action like "delete" on them

thanks I knew the buffer but I find it not so useful 

I have to press three times instead of one ( 1 alt+arrow up 2 tab 3 delete).

Take a look at this thread: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/7416-delete-file-with-keyword-delete-filename/

 

You can use the trash workflow and set your download folder as search scope. That should be what you were looking for
