Default e confirmation

I'm here by praying for the gods of IW to pour their benevolence on their faithful and bless us by adding this tiny winy little thingi, a small confirmation dialog that would so pop up when the 'e' button is pressed.

I might add that I'm quite excited when writing this post for I'm quite certain I have just accidentally pressed the 'e' button - thus ruining my would be turn for at least the hundredth time. This would be 100 times my keyboard ran the risk on being smashed to pieces

Oh and having the end turn key reside so innocently close to the recruit button is quite an insidious touch, keeps you alert and attentive when recruiting troops

Recently when trying to save and exit by choose options at the top right I accidently hit end turn instead. End turn should have a confirmation for SP games.

If the turn accidently starts you can use task manager to kill the dom3 game. I've done this at least ten times and never had any damage done to the saved game.

Yes, this would be quite worthwhile. If it wasn’t too much effort it’s also be great to have a confirmation dialog for throwing away items. Make sure you put a return address when sending that ring of wizardry back to the lab! While we’re wishing, it’d be nice if cursed items didn’t “stick” until the turn hosted (like PD) so if you accidentally click on the slave collar right next to the ring which made it back to the lab you don’t have to scrap the whole turn.

Actually it would be nice enough to move the return to lab entry to the top of the list, instead of next to the throw away entry.
If the list is long, Lab is also the one I use most so being on the top would reduce scrolling.

Good to know I am not the only one who makes those silly mistakes...

I support anything that helps reduce them and my blood pressure when I have spent 2 hrs on a turn only to have forgotton to save it or such.
