    Description

      In a number of places Sourcetree introduces an extra click into the workflow by prompting for confirmation for a potentially destructive action. The one that affects me most is after clicking the checkbox for a force-push (something I very frequently do on private branches after pushing for immediate offsite backup). Having explicitly clicked to select a force push, it then asks me again to confirm this.

      It would be much nicer, and no less risky, to change the button to red (or a red border and text) and change the text of it to "Force Push". It doesn't help that I have a 43" monitor and the confirmation popup appears nowhere near the push dialog button.

      Even better workflow would be to (also) allow CTRL+click on the push button in the toolbar to push the current branch to the default remote without any intervening popups and CTRL+SHIFT+click to do the same for force-push, both with appropriate changes the hover appearance or showing an immediate hint with the warning.
