Confirmation prompt on delete?

I've searched and can't find anything, but I'm still hopeful. Does anyone have a tweak or plugin that would give a confirmation prompt on delete? Too many times I've accidentally hit Del or absent-mindedly chosen Remove Books when I wanted to remove formats. If the deleted books wound up in my trash, I wouldn't care, but I'm using Calibre on Unbuntu, and when I delete, it's gone for good. I would like a prompt to ask me if I'm sure (or to have them go to Trash, that would work too). Anything out there?

No need. There is a prompt for this by default (see attached). If you aren't seeing a prompt you must have told it not to show. You can get the confirmation dialog back if you click the Reset all disabled confirmation dialogs on the Preferences - Behavior page.

Oh, thank you so much. That worked great. I can't tell you how long I looked for a way to change this behavior. I don't remember ever disabling the dialog, but I obviously did.
