I mean in the same way C-g would do in the minibuffer? Case in point: I am visiting an Org file with an active (running) clock. The file has no unsaved changes. Then I try to close (kill) Emacs by clicking on the "X" button on the upper right corner of the frame. A dialog pops up, asking whether I'd like to clock out and save. This dialog has "Yes" or "No" buttons, but no way to cancel, as far as I can see. Now occasionally I'd like to interrupt Emacs quitting, and go back to my file to adjust the clock and whatnot, but with that (modal) dialog it seems to be impossible -- Emacs will unconditionally quit. Should the dialog have "Cancel" or "X" or something? I could set use-dialog-box to nil, but occasionally dialogs are useful. This is Emacs 28.2 on MS Windows 10. Thanks, Petteri
