disabled-command-function is an autoloaded compiled Lisp function in
‘novice.el’.
It prompts with
(message "Type y, n, ! or SPC (the space bar): ")
However in 99% of the cases, the user has triggered it by mistake,
and wishes to get out with ^G, and not be bothered to read the details.
However ^G is disabled here.
Repeated hitting of it will not get one out and back to editing.
I vote ^G be mapped to "n", and be listed in the message.

Reading those details i discovered several very useful disabled commands; i enable some of them in my init file at startup. > > However ^G is disabled here. > > Repeated hitting of it will not get one out and back to editing. > > I vote ^G be mapped to "n", and be listed in the message. For me C-g it works: emacs -Q ~ a ; `dired-find-alternate-file' (disabled by default) ;; Appear the message. C-g ; The message is gone; the command was canceled. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Well, C-g is somehow an universal way of cancel whatever interactive command. It's assumed that any kind of prompt can be safely canceled with C-g. That is from lesson #1 in Emacs; i don't think we need to mention it in every prompt. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
