In-Reply-To: <CAFsi02RZRz=pSz=2X8wGixct5z=oq-8_3rQecsKkHaic6ao9yw@mail.gmail.com> (message from Thibaut Verron on Sun, 4 Oct 2020 19:32:16 +0200)
I don't have a computer at hand to test, but I wouldn't be too
surprised if sending SIGINT to an emacs process called
save-buffers-kill-emacs.
SIGINT to Emacs calls keyboard-quit.
In any case, C-z can display a message guiding the user to the
proper key sequence. And one could argue that C-c could show
such a message too(without breaking anything).
C-c doesn't interrupt Emacs; so having it show a message would be
missleading to the user.
I don't understand. What would be misleading in a message "To quit
emacs, type C-x C-c"?
Why should that be shown for a key that is not only unrelated to C-x
C-c but also used for an entierly different purpose? The issue with
C-z is that one is modifying its behaviour slightly from what users
already expect, i.e. suspending Emacs.
Showing a message that C-z no longer suspends Emacs, but if you press
z or C-z again it will do that is being helpful. In ten years time,
maybe that message can be removed.
