Is it a good idea to mix `yes-or-no-p'-style (minibuffer) input, such as `yes' and `no', with `read-char'-style input, such as `!' and `q'? I don't think so, a priori. Especially for `!', which has worse repercussions in case of a mistake than does `y'. No?Agreed. If you see my first answer i was reluctant to allow the dangerous operation. I will use "all" and "quit" instead of "!", "q". * Question: Do we need to show the help after this change?I would say yes, for the help. Think of `yes-or-no-p'. If you type `foo' to `yes-or-no-p' it helps you. Here we should offer more help, explaining the possibilities.
I see. Thank you for the explanation!
