Discouraging delete
Hello all,
we're using Zotero in group libraries where a fair number of people are co-editing in principle. We've had issues where people have accidentally deleted items without realising (when e.g., they had just wanted to remove them from the collection).
Is there a way in which the delete dialogue could be made more distinct from the 'remove from collection' dialogue? Or even where delete could be disabled from non-admins?
Would it be possible to do with with an extension / monkey patching?

Would the proposal by @leonardof be a welcome change?
If not, would it be possible to building something into Zotero that exposes the functionality say via advanced settings? I.e., an advanced setting that has "permanent-delete-dialog-defaults-to-no=true|false" ?
What do you think?
It still relies on having realised what I did. Sometimes I go through collections removing items from that collection, but have accidentally deleted them. (This is because I might be removing attachments with shift-delete at the same time.)
I would love an advanced setting that somehow distinguished delete from 'remove from collection'.
