Deleting elements by mistake in Struct Frame

[Rick Quatro]

Hi Johan,

It may be possible to do this with an ExtendScript script that would detect
when an element is deleted, and warn you. Of course, it may be annoying to
have a warning or confirmation popup every time you delete an element. But
if that is appropriate in your workflow, it might be possible. Let me know
if this is what you are thinking and I will see if it can be done. What
version of FrameMaker are you using? Thanks.

Rick

Subject: Deleting elements by mistake in Struct Frame

Occasionally we manage to select an element in a structured document and
press a key by mistake, deleting the element. Sometimes when we peer review
our user documentation, we discover that such mistakes have gone unnoticed
until that stage, and of course, some of these deletions can be tricky to
detect.

Has anyone of you tried to find a remedy to this problem, which I guess we
cannot be the only ones to have? Frame doesn't warn when you delete an
element. And we cannot modify Windows so that a multiple keys are required
to delete objects.
