Yes

Didnt check but I didn't change anything explicitly around that.

Yeah, possible.
I would (personally) like to see (like on mobile phones) is the default action has a timeout number appended in brackets & is primary
(web image ...)

> successful deploy but unused config nodes remain
Is there anyone that actually does something with unused config nodes other than removing them manually ?

I have several hanging around (like MQTT and SQL configs) but remove the parent nodes. This is so if I'm testing something I don't have to remember or dig out connection details.
It'd be nice to not be reminded every time since it's deliberate.

No, I didn't know that. It's not self-explanatory either.

Well hopefully, if the suggestion makes the cut for v3, it will have a nice and obvious "close" button.
