In both Ibuffer and Dired you mark items for deletion with ‘d’

the deletion with ‘y’ or cancel it with ’n'. I think it would be
nice if bookmarks asked for the same confirmation.
Ah, got it, thanks.
This is the sort of thing that some people will like and other
people will definitely not like, of course. Neither side is right
or wrong -- just different people dealing with different
tradeoffs.
So my thought is: a new variable `bookmark-menu-confirm-deletion',
defaulting to `t' (that is, confirmation would be the new default
behavior), to control whether confirmation happens. Those who
don't want confirmation -- i.e., those who want the old behavior
-- would have to set that variable to nil.
Confirmation would only happen in Bookmark Menu mode, of course.
If someone does `M-x bookmark-delete' and supplies a bookmark name
explicitly, then the named bookmark will just be deleted as
before.
If all this sounds right to you, then we can float it on
emacs-devel next and then (assuming people like it) implement it.
Now, I'd be happy to do the implementation. However, if you have
been wanting to write Elisp, then I'm also happy to serve as
reviewer for a change that you make! (Or as guide and reviewer,
depending on your level of skill/experience.) It would be normal
for there to be several iterations of such a patch, and I'm fine
to work with you until we're satisfied. Once the change is ready,
I'll commit it, but (assuming we do the 'git-format-patch' dance
right) you would be the author.
(There might be a one-time step in which you need to submit some
paperwork to the Free Software Foundation, for copyright
assignment, but that would only be true for this first substantive
commit -- thereafter, you would be on file.)
Thoughts?
Best regards,
