[PATCH]Deleting saved game without confirmation

[mimo]

When we want to remove several saved games, it is a bit tedious to always have the confirmation window. It would be nice to have a hotkey (Suppr key) to avoid the confirmation.

[leper]

Shift+Del would be a better hotkey, with Del only also having the confirmation dialog.

Or just always delete without any confirmation, and then have an "undo" button in case you made a mistake? (so "delete" would really mean "move to a kind of Recycle Bin directory, so it won't show up in the list, and then detect any recycled files older than a couple of days and automatically delete them for real")

new version following leper's suggestion

It would be nice if this would also work when pressing shift key + delete window button (other than delete key only).

Shift key when deleting a saved game do not need confirmation, addresses #3018

Thanks. Sorry for nitpicking again, but would be possible to have a single config option for the "no need to confirm" option? If you did it that way I suppose it's not easy and so you defined two separate options for the reallyDelete and noConfirmation?

[mimo]

Yes, in fact the reallyDelete config (and the code using it) is now useless, I forgot to remove it. I'll do it in a next commit.

fixed in r16251

Hi, I changed the noconfirmation key to Alt and it works when using the delete key, but not when pressing the delete button.

Also, intro.txt should be updated.

[mimo]

Yes, some keys are not understood. I've tried with Ctrl also and there, we have the opposite configuration: it works when pressing the delete button, but not when using the delete key. I suppose something else intercepts these keys.

[fabio]

I can confirm, if you think this is a problem not specific to this issue this could be closed (and maybe another ticket opened for it). Thanks.

[mimo]

Yes, I agree that a more specific ticket would be better to follow this issue.

Replying to mimo:

Yes, I agree that a more specific ticket would be better to follow this issue.
