I was the one that worked on CMD+L dialog. I posted my slice here and it was discussed. I tried to implement undo, but trying to understand undo was a pain in the ass.�

And yes Igor I am no pro coder, I code like 30 minutes a day max. I am a lawyer that tries to become a pro 2d/3d artist.
�I enjoy coding and an IDE that punishes me for my mistakes does not make coding enjoyable for me.
I think maybe an easy solution is to set all modals to a preference setting so they can be easily disabled, thus making everyone happy.�

Igor I will be frank with you, coders have no idea how to design good GUIs. They see GUIs as nothing more than an inconvenience and extra coding effort from their part.�
They usually put out the excuse "I am no designer" yet the truth is that they dont care because they cant understand the importance of a great GUI to the user. Applications like Photoshop are rare example of good GUI design.�

This 'warning, you did not accept' is/was important and solid, if you want to replace that the solution should be really good - it was not.

Don't shoot on Nicolai, he tried to fix it, after asking around.

i'm not shooting anyone, i just sad there is no progress :)
and instead even regress, because now i should also answer 'yes/no' when i press
cmd-L..�

If some people will need to be asked are they really really really fucking sure they wanted to press a key they pressed, each time they pressing the key, why others, who don't need such stupidity should suffer?


These are two different issue:

1) CMD-L

The real solution is to implement undo for cmd-L...

2) Not asking in general and rely on history.

This is a good idea but it needs to *work*
