Like shift-click? Isn't that browser dependent?
I haven't really thought about it (much). What I had in mind when I suggested that was actually treating the "s" key like a modifier (s for "skip"). You mentioned some other confirmation dialogs that you wish weren't there, so it got me thinking about the potential usefulness of a new idiom for that (as in, it would be neat if all the links/buttons on Bitcointalk that lead to confirmation dialogs could be "s-clicked" by the people who don't appreciate hand-holding).

But, thinking just about the original issue: This whole problem only substantially manifests on touch devices, so perhaps the smartest way for me to handle it would be to use an event listener to watch for touch events and then only enable the confirmation dialog when it detects some. (The logic being that with a mouse, there's no real argument to be made that mistakes are happening at a rate that's worth doing anything about.)



What do you think of this?: (...)
Hmm... I like it, but, I also have some reservations about that idea (which I don't think are worth me getting into right now). I'll keep thinking about it.
