Re: How to make a command ask "You *really* want to do this?"

[Chris McMahan <cmcmahan+n@one.net>]

Here's some code to do just that...

;;;======================================================================
;;; ask if you REALLY want to quit emacs
;;;======================================================================
(defun ask-before-quit ()
  "Ask if the user really wants to quit Emacs."
  (interactive)
  (y-or-n-p "Really quit emacs? "))

(add-hook 'kill-emacs-query-functions 'ask-before-quit)
