[/havana/t/z]> setopt RM_STAR_WAIT [/havana/t/z]> touch a b c d e [/havana/t/z]> rm * zsh: sure you want to delete all the files in /havana/t/z? (waiting ten seconds)^C [yn]? y [/havana/t/z]> ls a b c d e After CTRL-C I think zsh should just stop processing and don't ask the yes/no, because entering 'y' here has no effect. Also, is there a way to change the time interval (default is 10 seconds) ? Regards, ismail
