It's possible to move files to trash via Finder with ⌘⌫. But if i have an opened file (e.g. pdf or txt), is there any way to directly move it to trash without first closing it and finding it in Finder? Any shortcut?

Do yu mean from the app? If so what app?– mmmmmmMar 15, 2016 at 15:24

Yes, from the apps. I meant is there any universal shortcut exists? If no, than: 1. TextEdit app, 2. Preview app, 3. QuickTime app. 4. Pages app.– 0928e8f6Mar 15, 2016 at 15:28

No - it is up to the app to do that - also what happens if it has any files open - which one is trashed?– mmmmmmMar 15, 2016 at 15:30

It's a pity. Let's say i have 4 txt file opened with TextEdit. And i want move to trash the one, i'm working with. The same with Preview, if several files are opened, how to move to trash the one, that is on top.– 0928e8f6Mar 15, 2016 at 15:35

The shortest way: Right-click the file icon in the title bar of the document window. It will display a drop-down menu of the file's location path. When you choose the folder icon that is directly under the file icon, a Finder window will open with the file already selected (highlighted), and you can directly press ⌘⌫ to trash it.

It depends on the app, which has to implement this, not a general OS X keystroke.
In Preview: ⌘⌫
TextEdit seems to have nothing.
