The shell that I occassionally use, zsh, has an optional mechanism that intercepts "rm -rf *", and asks a y-or-n-p kind of question, *but* (and this is critical) -- adds a 10 second window where keystrokes are ignored. I like that feature, it makes me take a time out, think about what I am doing, and prevents my fingers from learning "rm -rf *y" as the sequence to use. Could this be a useful model for emacs as well? manoj from the zsh manual page: RM_STAR_SILENT (-H) Do not query the user before executing ‘rm *’ or ‘rm path/*’. RM_STAR_WAIT If querying the user before executing ‘rm *’ or ‘rm path/*’, first wait ten seconds and ignore anything typed in that time. This avoids the problem of reflexively answering ‘yes’ to the query when one didn’t really mean it. The wait and query can always be avoided by expanding the ‘*’ in ZLE (with tab). -- A chicken is an egg's way of producing more eggs.
