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.
@chaley - re Manage Tags - seems reasonable to me, happy to leave it in your tender care

Re bonus item #2 - Tag editor in Book List. Some folks might not want to lose the way it works now - ie edit in line after F2, that's why I suggested:

BTW I'm one of them 'Some folks'
