Thought for possible feature - Do you want to update this setting Y/N?

[Barry]

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has pressed V>M by mistake rather than
M>V, or turned VFO A instead of B when in the Config menu.
How about a "Do you want to update this setting Y/N?" option?

Barry,

I would rather have a "Undo the last change made" capability rather than
slowing down every change you make intentionally with such a confirmation.

My vote would be a resounding "no".  That would practically double the
nuisance factor of an already deep and broad menu system.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that was suggested here some time ago and
Elecraft said that it would take an excessive amount of internal memory
resources to make that a generally functional feature.

Please NO!  I would rather make a mistake from time to time than be asked if
I really wanted to do it every time.

Make that a triple no.

And let me point out that it really wouldn't help with the problem. Haven't
you noticed with things that always ask for a confirmation, that you get so
used to hitting the confirmation every time that it becomes automatic? And
you only realize after hitting the fatal "Yes" that you just deleted
something you wanted to keep?

My DVD player has TWO levels of confirmation to delete a recording and my
thumb just does them automatically. It has never prevented me from
accidentally deleting something I wanted to keep.

Please note I suggested this as an OPTION, so one could maintain the status quo if so desired.  However, as mentioned above, I like W5OV's suggestion better than mine - the ability to go back one level after a change is made (by mistake).

You are not the only one that had done that, but your cure is worse than the
problem.  I vote NO!

In any case, for a mistaken V>M just push M>V to cancel it. This also
works vice versa: push V>M to cancel a M>V.

Let's end this thread.

In general, we ask that people do not keep posting pro or con votes on a thread as it tends to seriously increase the noise level on the reflector.
