Plugin Directory: Edit screen. Approve plugins with a double-click.

[frantorres]

The “Approve” button when editing a plugin currently relies on JavaScript’s window.confirm() to prevent accidental or invalid clicks.

While window.confirm() is amazing for this purpose, it can become slow and frustrating when managing many plugins. Each action requires waiting for the browser to display a modal dialog, and interact with it. On top of that, many browsers enforce an additional pause before the dialog becomes interactive (ironically to prevent accidental clicks on the modal).

A double click also prevents invalid clicks and does not introduce any delay or context change.

To clarify that a double-click is needed, the text "Approve" changes to "Double-click to Approve" when clicked once.
