Describe the bug

When pressing delete with a torrent selected, the .torrent file and the downloaded files are deleted without a confirmation box. This happens even with the "Confirm when deleting torrents" option checked.

This does not happen when using the top menu bar, and it doesn't happen when using the right click menu provided with the Deletedata plugin.

Steps to reproduce

1. Select a torrent from the list
2. Press the 'Del' key on your keyboard
3. Your torrent has been deleted without confirmation

Expected behavior

The confirmation box with "Remove Torrent(s) : Do you really want to remove the selected torrent(s)?" should be shown before deleting.

I labeled this as an enhancement. We can add an option to display a confirmation box, when using the delete key on v4.2. It needs to be a separate option though and I think it should be disabled by default.

i have the same problem, with very old version 4.0.2 it works fine (default is confirmation enabled) and the setting for confirmation dialog for delete works as expected and in 4.2.8 it does not matter what the setting is it deletes without confirmation.
For me it is more secure to confirm -> since if you press delete you could maybe delete all torrents if you are in the wrong folder.

is it known which is the last version where this deletion confirmation dialog works?

edit:
when i select delete and remove then the confirmation dialog shows up but not with delete only or pressing del on keyboard

@FunThomas76 Could you go to Settings -> General and see if confirm when deleting torrents is checked off?

[FunThomas76]

it saves the state under settings -> general -> confirm when deleting but checked or not checked makes here no difference
my first thought was that some config file had not the right file permissions but the state of the setting get saved but it does not change anything here

but the loved confirm dialog shows up when deleting with removing files

Resolved in v5.0 releasing shortly.
