key mapping: adding automatic confirmations to command

key mapping: adding automatic confirmations to command

[bturnip]

Hola, Emacs folks!

I have mapped the revert-buffer function to F10, like so:
(global-set-key [f10] 'revert-buffer)

What I would like to add is automatic confirmation, so that I don't
have to answer (y or n) each time.

How can I do that?

Thanks!

You could try something like this:

(defun my-revert-buffer ()
   "does a revert buffer without asking for confirmation"
   (interactive)
   (revert-buffer t t))

(global-set-key [(control shift f10)] 'my-revert-buffer)

Seems rather dangerous, no confirmation at all!
