Deleted files are sent to the trash, not permanently deleted.
If you have suggestions on how to implement the undo in UI it would be great :)

One idea would be to make the delete button just mark them for deletion (make everything in it look insensitive) and actually send them to the trash after the app closes. Clicking on the note again will unmark it

Ctrl + Z is the first one I tried haha. But we could take advantage of that fancy new in-app notifications pattern. If you go to page 2 of gtk3-widget-factory and click one of the spin buttons a little in-app notification will slide down. Maybe we could do that? Same as gmail in a way "This note has been moved to the trash [Undo]"

To be consistent with other apps here, I suggest for a simple undo button on the toolbar much how it's currently done in a user accounts plug.

I agree with Daniel Foré and with Adam Bienkowski. elementary should have this slide down undo notification but in all apps to be consistent (like adam bienkowski said). It looks way better than having an undo and redo button. Also there is more interaction with the user. Scratch should get rid of these buttons too because it is a text editor and in an text editor you should know what Ctrl+Z or Ctrl+Y means.
