    To avoid accidental deletion of a clip, could it be possible to have a confirmation box ? Its rather easy to hit "delete" by mistake, and with no "undo" it could be a problem

    Thanks

    Again I want to know why do you delete clips? And how often do you perform this operation? Confirmation dialog on every act of deletion can be very annoying.

    yes i know it could be annoying for those who do not want it, it could be made as a choice to tick off in settings. The delete button is right next to the enter button on my logitech keyboard, so its for the purpose of a non-intentional deletion it would be prohibited with a confirmation. And if people delete very rare it should be no annpyance with a confirmation dialog i think. Problem is if a deletion in made by mistake, before its marked as favorite (which i often forget if im in a hurry) , the clip is gone forever, no chance to recover it,so if imortant its a problem

    Delete confirmation in other programs drive me insane.
    About twice each day I go through ClipAngel list and easy to delete unwanted items without confirmation.
    @tormozit ... I agree

    i understand some wont need this, but as you understand obvious some has a problem accidentially deleting a clip. So - therefor my suggestion to make this as an option that the user can enable or not. That would satisfy both worlds. Or even better an "undo" feature as seen in many other apps. I assume this would not be a big job but would be of great help

    I accidentally deleted a clip. Is there a way to undo the delete and recover the clip?
