Hi There is no hotkey to delete all items in the Proxy History in one go. However, you could select all items in the Proxy History (using control/command + A), and then use a hotkey to "Delete item(s)". This should allow you to delete all items in one go, with minimal mouse usage.

Right click > clear history I wish there's a keyboard shortcut for this too. Not only to clear history, but also to clear Dashboard "Issue Activity" as well in a single click button or keyboard shortcut. Right now, I have to close Burp and reopen it just to get it running fresh without any activities. So, a keyboard shortcut and dedicated menu to clear everything would be good.

Hi The "Dashboard > Issue activity" panel is a record of all issues found by Burp. It uses the "Site Map" as a source of truth for whether an issue has been previously reported. Once deleted from the issue activity panel, would you expect re-found issues to be re-reported? If you were to delete items from the issue activity panel, would you expect them to be deleted from the site map as well? If you could better filter items in the issue activity panel, would that help with your use case?

Is it possible to disable the "Confirm" pop up box, after you choose to delete something from the Proxy history?

Hi. Sorry, it is not possible to disable the confirm checkbox.

This is not the best ux. When deleting items this also has a confirmation box. Burp needs an option to disable this useless confirmations for those that know what they are doing. And Right click > clear history needs a hotkey option. Please consider this. Very important.
