Subject: bug#38265: 26.3; lock file is too easy to steal
Date: Tue, 19 Nov 2019 00:35:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <808soc2rhl.fsf@felesatra.moe> (raw)
The default ask-user-about-lock is too easy to miss.
For example, if one were typing "asparagus", they would likely steal the
lock without even realizing that it happened (the "a" triggers the
prompt on buffer modification and the "s" steals the lock).
It would be nice to have the prompt be harder to hit accidentally, such
as making all of the keys uppercase or having to type them out like
yes/no (but the latter might be too heavyweight). Or the prompt should
have a short timeout before allowing the user to respond (like how
yes-or-no-p does when you provide an invalid response).
