Don't upload images automatically
When I want to upload a picture from my computer, I use the upload button in the editor to upload it directly.
For this feature, I would like an extra step to confirm that I really want to upload the selected picture by adding a button "Upload". The reason behind this is that I could misclick and accidentally upload the wrong picture which I definitely didn't want to be uploaded.

Please no!
All those "Are you sure" popups are annoying. You get used them, and then they don't serve their intended purpose anymore anyway. Then you'd have to add "Are you really sure?", and "Are you really really sure?", etc, popups.
It's your job to be sure in the first place. Let's keep nannyware out of Codidact as much as possible.
I don't think an "are you sure" popup is being proposed here - just a button, so you'd pick your image then click Upload to upload it (as opposed to the current situation of just picking the image and having it upload automatically).
This still isn't necessary, and adds yet another thing that has to be done to upload an image. Currently you have to:
- Click on the Image icon. There appears to be no way to do this with the keyboard.
- Click in the pathname bar that pops up. There again seems to be no way to do this with the keyboard. That pops up yet another dialog.
- Enter the image file pathname.
- Hit ENTER.
There is no need for yet another step, especially if it requires a click and can't be done from the keyboard. If you're not sure, wait on the last step and don't hit ENTER until you're sure. There is no problem to solve here. Any "solution" will only make it more cumbersome.
