How do I mark multiple files so that I can delete, cut, and move them all at once?

I would also like to know how to do this.

I take the reference of #1804:
I modify the code and add keymaps.
you can add the following code to your on_attachfunction:

			local bulk_trash = function()
				local nodes = api.marks.list()
				if next(nodes) == nil then
					table.insert(nodes, api.get_node_under_cursor())
				end
				vim.ui.input({ prompt = string.format("Trash %s files? [y/n] ", #nodes) }, function(input)
					if input == "y" then
						for _, node in ipairs(nodes) do
							vim.fn.jobstart("trash-put " .. node.absolute_path)
						end
						api.tree.reload()
					end
				end)
			end

			vim.keymap.set("n", "bmr", bulk_trash, opts("Bulk Trash Files"))

it works for me:)

That's really nice! Could you please add that to the wiki: Recipes

You could call api.fs.trash for each node, rather than starting a job / reloading

Hey! guys,

I am glad to show you how I write my on_attach file to realize this marked file operations!
