Subject: Discouraging C-g in the same way C-h is discouraged
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:50:24 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAME3nGLO1+886uYA6p884QPxpQp1+h_+yMkegAQLwCoq45eeDQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
(elisp)Key Binding Conventions contains the following text, discouraging
mode authors from binding C-h:
* Don't bind `C-h' following any prefix character (including `C-c').
If you don't bind `C-h', it is automatically available as a help
character for listing the subcommands of the prefix character.
I think it should similarly discourage authors from binding C-g, for the
similar reason that users might often begin a key sequence and then want
to stop before completing the sequence. Some users hit ESC in such a
situation, while others hit C-g.
Thoughts?
Ted
