When Clicking SUBMIT Have An Are You Sure? Pop-Up

[wellonthehill]

Sometimes I don't realize the Attempt button has become a Submit button and i accidentally click it. When it becomes the Submit button it would be nice if a popup asked - 'Are you sure you wish to submit?'

Why would you need it? What exactly is wrong with submitting your solution that you might want to avoid it?

This seems far more annoying than useful. A better way to solve this issue might be to request the ability for solvers to hide their own solutions.

Don't click Submit / Attempt - use the keyboard. Ctrl-; does Attempt but not Submit. ( Ctrl-S or Ctrl-' does Test; Ctrl-Enter does Attempt or Submit. )

( This is on Windows and, from memory, Linux. Mac has key combos as well, but different ones. )

you might be working on your code for 15 to 20 minutes. clicking one verify popup hardly seems to be an inconvenience.  good GUI design would not let a serious commit act occur on the same button as a button you use over and over while testing things. when the button changes to submit it is a subtle change.  Safe GUI design would have either a 'confirm' popup or a third button that was non 'attempt.'  The safer practice is a confirm popup since there is no undo after an accidental submit On Monday, September 5, 2022 at 01:25:57 PM EDT, Keldan Chapman ***@***.***> wrote: This seems far more annoying than useful.

Is submitting a solution really a "serious commit act"?

in the context of that system it is since there is no undo or post-editing after submit (as far as i know, but hey i'm new) Paul Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.Lao Tzu

@wellonthehill : please don't reply in separate messages, especially using mail reply format, which is becoming a total mess on github. I had to edit and merge your three messages to make everything readable again.

Thx & cheers
