Thanks.
There are some complications with using delete as a toggle. The user can select a mixture of deleted and not deleted items. The "natural" implementation without confirmation would silently toggle them, deleting some and undeleting some, something I think is a bit strange. I have added "Are you sure?" to both undelete and delete. Both dialogs have a check box "show me this again". If you select a mix of deleted and undeleted items, you will get both dialogs, assuming you haven't turned them off. If you say no to either then nothing happens. I was tempted to ensure that all selected items were in the same state when doing a delete. I still am tempted.
I left editing as an alternate way to undelete an item.
As a bonus:
- I added "editing" of the previous value column as undo, either of a delete or of changes to the tag's value.
- I added F2 (or whatever it is on the platform) to open the editor.
I wonder if we should take this to a separate thread.
