A way better solution is to alias trash-d as a drop-in replacement for `rm` : https://github.com/rushsteve1/trash-d

Also, ‘gio trash’ is widespread.

What I mean is: a precept of command-line fluency is to be able to drop onto arbitrary systems and change them in ways predictable to the next sysadmin. ‘gio’ is a vague entry point to a library, and even if the next sysadmin doesn’t know about gnome, the files you trashed end up in a common recycling bin.

On the other hand, KDE has a syntax that deserves an alias.
