VSCode Version: 1.41.1
OS Version: Manjaro KDE 18.1.5 with latest updates

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a directory in VSCode
Delete a directory or a file (must be going to trash)

If I use Shift and Delete, it does not freeze.
It does not matter if the directory or file are empty, it happens anyway.
It takes approximately 3-4 seconds to unfreeze.

Okay... I just went to the ArchLinux wiki article on Visual Studio Code and played with the ELECTRON_TRASH variable. Supposedly the default is gio but I think under KDE it is set to kioclient5 or kioclient.

So, the solution is to launch Visual Studio Code like this ELECTRON_TRASH=gio code, after that file/directory moves to the trash bin are instant.

To fix this for now, I have created the file ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/electron-trash-gio.sh with the following content

export ELECTRON_TRASH=gio

I can confirm this behavior on Ubuntu 18.04.4 running plasma-desktop 5.12.x.

VSCode: 1.42.1

The workaround of @jamezrin works for me. :+1:

Confirm. On Ubuntu 18.04 + KDE 5 same issue.
