About no. 1, I think any sane application will show a warning "Do you want to delete abc.c" before permanently removing the file. I cannot verify it now, but pretty sure VSCode has it.

So --

* if there is no such dialog, it's on zed * If there is such a dialog and you clicked yes, it's on you

Just checked, there is a modal dialog that reads:

    *Delete "asd"?*

    (Cancel) (Delete)

It does have such a dialogue but VSCode's identically named "Delete" option has a nearly identical warning dialogue that moves the file to the trash instead.

Zed's dialogue just says "Delete file.txt?" so if you're used to VSCode it's very easy to skip through that dialogue reflexively.
