If you are in the File Manager, select the file(s), then press the
<Delete> key.  You can also delete whole directory structures this way.
You can set the levels of confirmation with the Options Confirmation
check boxes for:
  confirm on delete
  confirm on subtree delete
  confirm on replace
  confirm on mouse operation

Sure this requires the use of the keyboard, but that's what the left hand
is for (right hand if you're a left handed mouser.)

Later,
