OPTIONS *oil-options*
skip_confirm_for_simple_edits *oil.skip_confirm_for_simple_edits*
type: `boolean` default: `false`
Before performing filesystem operations, Oil displays a confirmation popup to ensure
that all operations are intentional. When this option is `true`, the popup will be
skipped if the operations:
* contain no deletes
* contain no cross-adapter moves or copies (e.g. from local to ssh)
* contain at most one copy or move
* contain at most five creates
prompt_save_on_select_new_entry *oil.prompt_save_on_select_new_entry*
type: `boolean` default: `true`
There are two cases where this option is relevant:
1. You copy a file to a new location, then you select it and make edits before
saving.
2. You copy a directory to a new location, then you enter the directory and make
changes before saving.
In case 1, when you edit the file you are actually editing the original file because
oil has not yet moved/copied it to its new location. This means that the original
file will, perhaps unexpectedly, also be changed by any edits you make.
Case 2 is similar; when you edit the directory you are again actually editing the
original location of the directory. If you add new files, those files will be
created in both the original location and the copied directory.
When this option is `true`, Oil will prompt you to save before entering a file or
directory that is pending within oil, but does not exist on disk.

ACTIONS *oil-actions*
The `keymaps` option in `oil.setup` allow you to create mappings using all the same parameters as |vim.keymap.set|.
>lua
keymaps = {
-- Mappings can be a string
["~"] = "<cmd>edit $HOME<CR>",
-- Mappings can be a function
["gd"] = function()
require("oil").set_columns({ "icon", "permissions", "size", "mtime" })
end,
-- You can pass additional opts to vim.keymap.set by using
-- a table with the mapping as the first element.
["<leader>ff"] = {
function()
require("telescope.builtin").find_files({
cwd = require("oil").get_current_dir()
})
end,
mode = "n",
nowait = true,
desc = "Find files in the current directory"
},
-- Mappings that are a string starting with "actions." will be
-- one of the built-in actions, documented below.
["`"] = "actions.tcd",
-- Some actions have parameters. These are passed in via the `opts` key.
["<leader>:"] = {
"actions.open_cmdline",
opts = {
shorten_path = true,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRASH *oil-trash*
Oil has built-in support for using the system trash. When
`delete_to_trash = true`, any deleted files will be sent to the trash instead
of being permanently deleted. You can browse the trash for a directory using
the `toggle_trash` action (bound to `g\` by default). You can view all files
in the trash with `:Oil --trash /`.
To restore files, simply move them from the trash to the desired destination,
the same as any other file operation. If you delete files from the trash they
will be permanently deleted (purged).
Linux:
Oil supports the FreeDesktop trash specification.
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/trash-spec/1.0/
All features should work.
Mac:
Oil has limited support for MacOS due to the proprietary nature of the
implementation. The trash bin can only be viewed as a single dir
(instead of being able to see files that were trashed from a directory).
Windows:
Oil supports the Windows Recycle Bin. All features should work.
