Should file_op delete really hang around for subsequent invocation by target_callback?

If you type ctrl/x to a filer window with nothing selected, an action_delete is pending for a future selection.
This survives changes in window focus, and can cause quite unexpected results.  E.g. click a directory you
want to visit, and watch it get blown away instead.  Perhaps this should be active for only a short time, or
perhaps, leaving a filer window should cancel this pending operation.  Otherwise, this seems like an obvious
disaster waiting to happen.  I've already been bitten by this a couple of times.  Pending delete's too much
like a loaded gun casually left lying around.  Perhaps unloading it when not needed is the best/safest idea.
