Is there an option for UR to prompt before deleting a folder? I am worried that I may delete a folder by mistake and not realize it until too late. The undo function is useful, but for safety, I need to receive a prompt from UR to confirm a deletion.

Thank you in advance for responses and suggestions.

if you hit del, it will only move the item to "recycle bin", so that's safe, no need to confirm

if you hit "shift+del", then you get a prompt, and in case you confirm, it will be deleted permanently (no "recycle bin", but you are still able to "undo")

Wow! Thanks for pointing out the recycle bin. Even though I have been using UR for several years, I never looked in the UR recycle bin. I had 3 years of deletes in there. I can see what was deleted and drag an item back to wherever I want it in the tree, or click on item restore, if appropriate. Now I will be less concerned about making big mistakes.

I wish I was kidding. I would still like to see an option to be prompted when deleting, or moving (drag/drop), a folder to better avoid making mistakes. While working with and organizing a lot of UR data/trees over time, I have messed up a few times.
