It waits politely for confirmation, (otherwise, if you made a mistake, it would already have vanished off to an unknown place).
Then, when you wish to confirm ... RT

One little potential "gotcha":
I have noticed that if you add an action to the Inbox, set project and context, set it to repeat, and then check it off as completed, all without having done the clean up step Rob mentioned, the newly created repeat will appear in the Inbox, and will not have the project you assigned. Apparently, even though it looks as if the project has been assigned, the actual assignment doesn't take place until the clean up is done. A bit of a nuisance when you think of a new repeating action and immediately do it as you enter it...

Yeah, I was actually processing my inbox, which means that once an action is assigned to a project it really should disappear. Oh well. The cleanup button will be quicker than physically dragging them out of the inbox, but I would expect them to disappear from the inbox when I change the context from "Inbox" to something else.
Thanks for the tips.

As someone who came from OF's predecessor, KGTD, built on OmniOutliner and a bunch of Applescripts, the whole click a button to make the view change notion is quite familiar ground. I can understand why someone who has only experienced the current scheme might think they would be better off without it, but IMO it would be a usability nightmare for most, especially new users already feeling overwhelmed by the many options for inadvertently hiding one's data. As always, let them know about your enhancement requests with Help->Send Feedback or email omnifocus@omnigroup.com.
