## 8. Warning & Confirmation Modals
Double-checks before executing hazardous or state-altering actions.
### The Safety Intercept Feature
To prevent accidental data loss due to muscle-memory `Enter` keypresses, Gitwig intercepts keystrokes on the router level. For any modal classified as a **Destructive Action**, pressing `Enter` defaults to **Cancel** (`ConfirmNo`). To confirm a destructive action, the user must explicitly press `y` or `Y`. For non-destructive actions, `Enter` acts normally to confirm.
### Destructive Actions (`Enter` acts as Cancel)
* **Discard Changes (`Mode::DiscardChangesConfirm`)**: Discarding unstaged/staged files, hunks, or lines.
* **Delete Branch (`Mode::BranchDeleteConfirm`)**: Deleting a local or remote tracking branch.
* **Delete Tag (`Mode::TagDeleteConfirm`)**: Deleting a Git tag locally or remotely.
* **Delete Stash (`Mode::StashDeleteConfirm`)**: Dropping/deleting a stash entry from the stashes list.
* **Delete Remote (`Mode::RemoteDeleteConfirm`)**: Removing a configured remote repository connection.
* **Delete Submodule (`Mode::SubmoduleDeleteConfirm`)**: Deleting a submodule reference.
* **Abort Merge (`Mode::MergeAbortConfirm`)**: Aborting an active merge session (reverting resolved conflicts).
### Non-Destructive Actions (`Enter` acts as Confirm)
* **Branch Checkout (`Mode::BranchCheckoutConfirm`)**: Switching to another branch.
* **Tag Checkout (`Mode::TagCheckoutConfirm`)**: Detaching HEAD to check out a tag.
* **Branch Push (`Mode::BranchPushConfirm`)**: Pushing commits to remote.
* **Tag Push (`Mode::TagPushConfirm` / `Mode::TagPushAllConfirm`)**: Pushing single or all tags to remote.
* **Branch Merge (`Mode::BranchMergeConfirm`)**: Merging a branch into the active branch.
* **Rebase (`Mode::BranchRebaseConfirm` / `Mode::BranchInteractiveRebaseConfirm`)**: Rebasing the current branch.
* **Stash Apply (`Mode::StashApplyConfirm`)**: Applying a stash onto the working directory.
* **Cherry-Pick (`Mode::CherryPickConfirm`)**: Cherry-picking a commit.
* **Revert (`Mode::RevertConfirm`)**: Creating a revert commit for a specific commit.
* **Continue Merge (`Mode::MergeContinueConfirm`)**: Continuing a merge after conflicts are resolved.
* **Self-Update (`Mode::UpdateConfirm`)**: Confirming a self-update.
### Shortcuts
* `y` / `Y` : Confirm action (required for destructive actions; works for all)
