Subject: bug#62146: 26.3; Allow users to get help on y/n prompt
Date: Sun, 12 Mar 2023 16:18:52 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR10MB54887601160C2B2FF517D2FBF3B89@SJ0PR10MB5488.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)
See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/q/76235.
Please consider allowing a help character, such as `?' or `C-h', to give
users more info about y/n prompting - info that might help with this
user's confusion (maybe some info such as that offered by NickD's
answer).
Consider, in particular, the context of hitting a key for a disabled
command (the OP's context), and seeing the Help text for dealing with
disabled commands, including a link that is impossible to access while
in the y/n read.
