Describe the bug

It is easy to hit "delete effect" instead of move / toggle. What if the delete button was on the left, followed by the effect icon/label, and finally the toggle, move buttons?

But there is the plugin bypass button between them. It seems distant enough to me.

This is a problem for fat fingers on a touchscreen, trying to toggle and not delete stages.

Oh... I see. I was thinking about using the mouse. I think it is the first time I see someone using EasyEffects on touchscreen... Moving the delete button to the beginning of the row does not seem a good solution. Maybe doing the same thing we do in the preset menu is. The question is how viable is implementing the confirmation button in the plugins list...

But on the other hand having to confirm whenever we want to remove a plugin from the list seems annoying. And it is not like the setting is gone like the in the preset file case... It is going to be hard to find a solution for touchscreen that does not feel alien for mouse users...

Another solution would be to delete by dragging all the way to the bottom of the list to a trash area. Would be good to keep a click option for the mouse though.

It is the steam deck. Amazed that I can get REW, rephase and easyeffects running, and it works better than the windows laptop with DSP (always found a way to need a reboot to reinstall).
