Is there a way to make Everything ALWAYS display the “Are you sure you want to permanently delete” prompt when deleting something? I've caught myself almost deleting a bunch of files because my hand will sometimes twitch onto the Delete key (something to do with nerve twitch). In short, I need to protect myself from myself.
BTW, why does Everything sometimes display the Delete prompt and sometimes not display anything? Is there some kind logic going on here? Maybe if a certain number of files of a certain type? Thank you as always for this amazing software.
