Feature description

If you click a new video, prompt user whether to keep/carry over enqueued videos if available.

Why do you want this feature?

Let's say, you are watching a video while 7 other videos are enqueued. Then you accidentally touch a new video and all your enqueued videos history is lost. You don't remember them all.

Additional information

Some users may not like to see this prompt window asking them about enqueue history. So, perhaps a tick box can be provided additionally to stop showing the window again.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a confirmation dialog when a new video is clicked while there are enqueued videos. The dialog should offer options to carry over or discard the current queue. Optionally add a checkbox to remember the choice.
