A 'Are You Sure' Button

Feature RequestWeb app

Hi there,

Not sure if anyone else has this issue or does this as commonly as I do. But when you highlight text, and the toolbar appears with the ‘comment, expand, describe’ etc. Is there any way you guys could implement a ‘are you sure’ feature or something similar?. Because sometimes I want to edit or just copy/paste; and there’s a small lag or hiccup and I accidently hit the wrong button, mostly the describe button. It’s happen so many times for me, I’ve become careful at waiting for the toolbar to appear, but sometimes I get so into work that I forget and hit it accidently and there go credits and I end up with unnecessary cards. I’ve narrowed the descriptions down to only metaphor and one sense, but it doesn’t help. Just a rant/suggestion, not sure how practical it would be.

    Add Safeguard against accidentally clicking Selection Menu tools

    If you highlight text in a document, the Selection Menu pops up next to your cursor with tools like “Comment”, “Rewrite”, “Describe”, “Expand” and “Quick Edit”. The issue I have is that “Describe” and “Expand” don’t ask me for any confirmation when I click them - or if I accidentally happen to click them because I’m trying to highlight some other text nearby.

    Since it already happened to me a few times that I accidentally used “Expand” and unnecessarily spend credits on it, I would feel more comfortable if there was some safeguard feature - like how it works for “Rewrite”, that it only starts after I press “Go!”.
    Alternatively I would like to just disable the Selection Menu entirely and only have the buttons up in the top row or as keyboard-shortcuts. The way I started to work in SudoWrite, I only need quick access to comments and the chat.

      For some context: Most of the time when this happens to me it’s because I highlighted some text, realized I needed to start one or two lines higher/lower, and click to start highlighting the new text as the selection menu pops up for the currently highlighted text.

      I took a short break from SudoWrite and on the first day of working with it again I already spend a few thousand credits on accidentally expanding some text when I just wanted to to highlight something else^^
      It’s usually not that dramatic, but I still hope for the day when they add some kind of protection against this.
