If I make changes and want to exit without saving, in jove I do ctrl-x ctrl-c it asks: "modified buffers exist - exit anyway?", I say: "y" and it lets me out. But with emacs, it asks me first this other question, which requires the opposite yes/no answer, which always screws me up: "save file? y/n" And then, if I say N, emacs asks me ANOTHER question, and it won't accept a simple y/n, so I have to type "yes" Can I have it skip that first question, and also permit me a single letter response for the second? 2. What is the command to toggle line-wrap in the current buffer? I did an "apropos wrap" and found no commands that actually toggle line-wrap. 3. How do I toggle the display of line numbers? I did an "apropos number", found a command called "line-number-mode" but it seems not to do anything. Why is that?
