And can never will as this is clarified by developer that this feature will never be added.
Con It doesn't have UNDO function
Very important. When you work with valuable data files, this function can't be ommited.
Con Navigating folders by Ctrl+Tab has considerable delay
Con Browsing Recycle Bin is very slow
Navigating away from Recycle Bin tab and coming back to it reload the Recycle Bin which is very slow as mentioned. Program has an option to open recycle bin in Windows File Explorer, which suggests that developer is aware that opening Recycle Bin is problematic.
