In OmniFocus 4, to reduce the chance of accidents like this, we’ve followed Finder’s lead and changed the keyboard shortcut for deleting an item from Delete to Command-Delete. We’re hopeful that this little bit of extra friction will greatly reduce the number of accidental deletes!
(Of course, a popular request since making this change is that we get rid of the friction for people who prefer the bare Delete key. We plan to let users customize this behavior, so the default is safer but it’s easy to remove that friction for those who don’t want or need it.)
