We're talking about a file manager - and moving stuff to the trash is one of the fundamental file operations, so it should not be harder than absolutely necessary. The only scenario where control+delete would maybe make things safer anyways is the "cat walks over the keyboard while I'm in the bathroom" scenario. I'm not sure that scenario is worth making day-to-day work harder, and I'm also not sure the proposed solution really is the best one. In my oppinion, this whole thread is a typical case of "Never use a warning when you mean undo" [1], no matter if you try to make valid actions harder via a confirmation dialog or other means. Visual feedback plus easily reachable undo appears to be so much nicer.
