You gota set up keyboard shortcuts like this :

Great, thank you, I set up Command-X since VLC seems to use Command-D for something else.

Thanks, works on Linux too if you replace the line
uri = string.gsub(uri, '^file:///', '')
with
uri = string.gsub(uri, '^file://', '')
i.e. 2 slashes // instead of 3 ///

Thank you. Also, for MacOS if you want to move the files to the Trash bin, just in case you'll change your mind later, replace

os.execute("rm -f \"" .. uri .. "\"")
with
os.execute("mv -fv \"" .. uri .. "\" ~/.Trash/")

Great addition! Thanks
