Semantic usage of "delete" and "force delete"

[nrueckmann]

The UI should use the semantically correct language strings for delete actions, because for users it is currently not possible to understand if a delete action actually deletes the entity or just putting it into "deleted" state.

Examples:
If a model uses softdelete, "delete" should be used on action in index view.
If a model not uses softdelete, "force delete" should be used on action in index view.

The response I got from service support:

Until today, it has been Laravel conversion to use Delete would be authorized using delete() policy and deleting() & deleted() events and Soft Deletes would use forceDelete() policy and forceDeleting() & forceDeleted() events.

For us to use simply mix the two it would then break Laravel conversion, and if we only change the displayed text it would be harder for Developer Experience (DX) to understand which gates or events to be used.

The original issue is marked as a Feature Request and until now it hasn't gained any support from the community. We will revisit it if things changes.

For me, this still means that I need to fork Nova to use it on customer projects. If anyone else has the same issue, please vote this up, so they hopefully fix this in the future.
