 Foreground file operations can be reversed and replayed again if their nature allows it. For example, deletion (not moving to trash) or file overwrite can't be reversed, on the other hand any rename operations can be reversed unless the previous file names conflict with names of newly created files.  Irreversible operations require explicit confirmation of some form.

-Some registers are managed implicitly and provide additional convenience. Others need to be named explicitly when calling commands (e.g., <kbd>"xdd</kbd> deletes file(s) in the <code>x</code> register).  Some registers are available by two names: lower-case and upper-case one; using the lower-case form reassigns the register content, while the upper-case form appends files it.
