Hi everyone

In designer for every object or component each I want to delete a delete confirmation popup will rise which cause the design process slow down(you have to click on yes button).  
Is there any option any where in ignition to disable this feature?  
There is nothing in project properties.

Thanks.

I don’t think so. But you can just tap space and it’ll hit yes for you and close the window.

If you have to delete many objects, you can use multi-select then delete. You’ll have one confirmation for the whole batch.

Agree with you this slows down the design process.

Yes, there should be possible to disable it. One might think it doesn't matter, but all the time confirming the pop up box adds up in time.

It may add up but it's nothing compared to having to completely redo from scratch a view you deleted by mistake.

It's fine to confirm deletion when deleting views from project browser, but for deleting components from a container in a view, should be optional.

This would be great to have as an option! Can be a big time waster!
