Hold-to-confirm button

A temporal confirmation primitive for irreversible operations. Holding pointer or Space charges a safety rail; releasing early or pressing Escape cancels, while a completed hold confirms exactly once.

Implementation field notes

Use hold-to-confirm button confidently.

The preview and source are only the starting point. Use these notes to decide where the component fits, preserve its accessibility contract, and verify the adapted result.

Good fit for

  • Delete workspaces
  • Revoke credentials
  • Reset environments

This confirmation actions pattern works best when its purpose is clear in the surrounding page hierarchy.

Accessibility contract

  • Space provides the same timed hold behavior as pointer press.
  • The progressbar and live status report active, cancelled, and confirmed states.
  • Escape cancels an active hold without firing the destructive result.

Integration plan

  1. Copy the standalone HTML and scoped CSS into an isolated page.
  2. Adapt danger accent, warning accent, surface color, text color through the Inspector.
  3. Connect the defensive JavaScript, then test every control with a keyboard.
  4. Review the result at 375, 768, 1024, and 1440 pixels before shipping.
