Subject: | bug#49869: Revert buffer? Yes/No/Maybe |

There is a new short keybinding to revert the current buffer - just 3 keys: 'C-x x g'. But then it asks for a confirmation with 4 keys: 'y e s RET' that is even longer than the command keys. This defeats the purpose of having the short key sequence. Does 'C-x x g' really need a confirmation?It's quite a drastic measure, so I think it does need a confirmation. E.g., if the changes you revert exceed the value of undo-limit, you could really lose your edits.Since we now have the use-short-answers option, why is it a problem to have to confirm, if you could make it a single key?
I had forgotten about use-short-answers, it makes the proposed solution even shorter:
(defun revert-buffer-short-answer (&optional args) (interactive (list (not current-prefix-arg))) (let ((use-short-answers t)) (revert-buffer args))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-x x g") 'revert-buffer-short-answer)
