In this particular instance of deleting a submenu (not just a
single item) my motivation was not to make it overly complicated
(though I appreciate it may seem so).<br>
It is quite possible a user may have spent 10 minutes designing a
submenu with half a dozen items, and then hits the delete key
accidentally. With a simple Yes/No dialog (especially if the the
default button is Yes) it is all to easy to hit the wrong button
and lose the last few minutes' work; and there is no undo facility
implemented.<br>
I may have written that dialog clumsily, but I wanted to avoid the
possibility of an 'automatic' response which was disastrous. I
quite agree a straightforward Yes/No dialog is simpler and more
elegant, but it may not give a hurried user sufficient 'pause' to
avoid accidentally losing valuable work.<br>

IMO we shouldn't think people don't know what they are doing. If I
hit DELETE on a menu item, I usually want to delete it :)<br>

realise I'm on a learning curve. This is my first significant code
contribution to an open source project. I actually never thought I
had the skill to offer a new menueditor. It was a forum comment by
the late BigChimp some years ago about the previous menueditor
which first got me thinking about its shortcomings, why it was so
difficult to improve/maintain, and how a replacement might be
designed to be better in that respect; and several developers said
a complete rewrite was the only way forward. Months became years
and no one as far as I could see was working on a replacement. So
I decided to bite the bullet, and started to look at relevant bits
of the IDE code (much of which I still don't understand). I've
been learning on the job, as you plainly see...<br>

I agree! +1.<br>
