This may not help many, but here is how I restored "Command+delete".
A while back, I was convinced that this key combination for "Move to Trash" was not working in my macOS Sierra. So, in System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts, I attempted to manually define a shortcut "Move to Trash". But, I was never allowed to assign the same "Command+delete" key combination.
A frustrating few weeks have passed until this morning. But, this morning, I was determined to restore "Command+delete" and once again went into the App Shortcuts pane. There, it occurred to me to DELETE the very shortcut and key combination I had been trying to define. So, I selected my "Move to Trash" Finder shortcut and clicked on the "minus" button to delete it.
Upon returning to the Finder, I was stunned to see "Command+delete" appearing to the right of "Move to Trash" again.
So, if you have tried many things to restore the "Command+delete" key combination for "Move to Trash", one thing I would like for you to try is this:
(1) In System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > App Shortcuts, create a Finder shortcut for "Move to Trash" and assign whatever key combination that the system accepts. (2) Go back to the Finder and confirm that your key combination works. (3) Now, return to the App Shortcuts pane, select the shortcut you created, and press the "minus" sign to delete the shortcut. (4) Go back to the Finder and see if "Command+delete" has return to "Move to Trash.
Best wishes to all.
