Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I open a .TXT on my home screen and it pops up the "Are you sure you want to open following file?" confirmation. I can't find a way to disable this in the settings.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a checkbox somewhere in the settings that disables this confirmation.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've thought of leaving Amaze for another file manager, regrettably, because I use these home screen shortcuts so frequently. Thank you for anything you can do!

Research direction

Start by locating the settings screen and the confirmation shown when opening a .TXT file from a home-screen shortcut. Add a persistent setting that controls this confirmation, then verify that enabling it skips the prompt while disabling it preserves the current behavior.
