Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I often swipe on the wrong note and delete my most important stuff. Thankfully there is an undo button but it's quite stressful IMO.

Describe the solution you'd like
When a note is starred, forbid deletion of it.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Less impulsive swiping.

Additional context

Great work on the project :)

    It also happens to me sometimes that I accidentally perform a swipe and hence, delete a note.
    I can undelete it when online but in I wished I could completely deactivate this "swipe to delete" function in the settings.
    I never want to delete a note this easy way without confirmation.

    It is even worse when offline. I cannot enter the Trash to revert the swipe - I need to wait until I re-connect with Nextcloud when connected later. meanwhile I have no chance to un-delete the note.

    So, please, allow in the sesstings to make deletes more explicit, i.e.

    • disable swipe to delete
    • or keep swipe to delete but require explicit confirmation

    #3088 added an option to completely disable swipe actions (delete and favorite). A note can be added to favorites by taping the star symbol and deleted using the long-press selection menu. Both functions are also available in the menu of the edit screen for an individual note.

    It is not exactly what this issue asks for but I think it resolves the underlying problem, so maybe the issue can be closed? (Similarly #2268)
