Permanently deleting files on Mac OS

In OS X, is there a way to delete a file and bypass Trash? I want an equivalent shortcut for Shift-Delete in Windows.

There is no equivalent key combination on OS X. You can delete files only passing through the Trash with the shortcut and empty trash using .

Other solutions involve Automator I guess, but I have no other suggestions about that. All I can say is run such a command on the terminal to batch the process:

rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
