Eliminate "Are You Sure?" Dialog When Removing Structures

Status: Declined
Moved to CAR database. CAR#354572

I can't count the number of times I've seen this dialog :

Of course I want to continue, that's why I right-clicked the structure and chose Remove [Structure]!  This dialog must be a holdover from pre-Undo days.  Do we pop-up a dialog when you select your whole diagram and press <Delete>?  What about when you press Ctrl-B?  These actions have the potential to remove just as much diagram content as Remove [Structure].

 

Please get rid of this dialog, and just let us Undo the operation if we need to, just like we do all the other potentially destructive diagram edit operations.

You know, this is why we have Ctrl-Z.

 

The "OMG, you're about to delete the world!!!" user prompts should only be used when the change is drastic and irrevocable.

It has been reclined then reclined then redeclined. Obviously, there is a split in opinion on how it should behave. Option check box is the way to go.

X: The dissent was about how to classify/track the idea.
