Seeing long presses implemented for those intermittent and irreversible actions in games is something I‘ve always appreciated. I often end up making errant inputs, especially on keyboards.
A guard I often make for myself is removing/disabling the delete key on my keyboard, and setting FN+Backspace to Delete with whatever control software is involved. I often then repurpose the delete key location to F2, which is typically used to “Edit” a spreadsheet cell or file name.
Red team demur: I HATE the iPhone's long press requirement to restart from off.
To me, a button that forces me to wait for an unknown and indeterminate period of time before functioning is a FAIL.
