You will quickly get "C-c C-c y" imprinted in your fingers instead of "C-c C-c", and then you have gained nothing but annoyance. What will your next step then be - adding a delay before the 'y' is accepted so the habituated user is forced to think about it? Couldn't the user just have thought about pressing C-c C-c in the first place, then? > Ask yourselves: does e.g., mutt(1) not need a "y" confirmation to > actually send something? Doesn't mutt call a separate editor for editing the body of the email? That makes it necessary for mutt to have a seperate step for changing Cc, Bcc, etc. afterwards, i.e. a prompt. > Imagine sending a mail to people you respect, cut off in mid- Yeah, those people would not forgive you and certainly never talk to you again.
