Delete key is a shortcut to deleting the event, it doesn't need a confirmation.

Unless there's an option to undo an action (trash can, undo) there should be a confirmation for this option.

Delete key is a shortcut to deleting the event, it doesn't need a confirmation.

This is incorrect. For consistency the keyboard shortcut obviously needs the same confirmation as the corresponding mouse action.

(Maybe the mouse action did not trigger a confirmation dialog either back in 2003, but anyway: mouse and keyboard need to work in the same manner. So whether or not the delete key needs confirmation depends on the corresponding mouse action.)

Summary: delete key should present confirmation dialog box → delete key should present the same confirmation dialog box as for deleting an event with the mouse

@kevin: thanks for your report. It seems this has been fixed in the meanwhile.

Tested in TB 115.6.1:
All of the following actions trigger the same confirmation dialog Do you really want to delete this event?:

  1. right-click on event --> context menu --> delete event
  2. left-click on event --> press DEL key
  3. double-click event --> click on EDIT button --> click on delete toolbar button
