I've done a lot of work on this project over the years, and there's a short discussion about using rmw as a drop-in replacement for rm. https://github.com/theimpossibleastronaut/rmw/discussions/305

Keith, I haven't worked on this project for a while so haven't given it much thought. In the TODO and BUGS file some things are mentioned though.

Presently, it won't ReMove files from a file system unless a trash folder is listed for that same file system.

Sometimes it might be better for rmw to ReMove files from one filesystem to a $HOME trash folder on a different filesystem, even though it takes longer for the copy/move rather than a rename operation.

I've been using rmw the last couple years and like it. When I'm working at the command line, I almost always use rmw instead of rm.

Thanks for your interest, Keith. Have you ever used rmw? If you need me to clarify anything or would like more specifics, let me know.

If the development were to continue, what features would you like to see added, and what feature would you like to see tweaked?

The reason it doesn't take the same arguments is because I didn't get that far with development.

It's intended use? I use it from the command line mostly, but also have configured its use through file managers such as thunar and nautilus.

Why doesn't rmw taket the same args as rm, so it can be used as a drop-in replacement?

If it's not intended to be used as a drop-in replacement for rm, what is its intended use?
