Subject: [PATCH] feat(vcs): Delete key deletes unversioned files in the
 Changes view (#1483)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Changes view's Delete… for unversioned files had no key. When every selected
file is unversioned, Delete/Backspace now opens the same confirmation (files go to
the Trash) and the menu item shows the platform's delete key; Delete on a changelist
group still deletes the changelist.

Closes #1477
