> AFAIK there is no macOS shortcut to delete a file in Finder. There is a shortcut to move a file to Trash. This is a different action than deleting text (there is no Trash for text), so I think it's fair to use a slightly different shortcut (command-delete).

There is: Option+Command+Delete.

Thanks, I forgot.

I normally get the shortcuts that I don't remember from the menu bar, but I forgot that holding option shows alternative options.

What I meant was that I forgot that holding option when the Menu is open will show the alternative shortcuts. No need for external cheatsheets or apps.
