I believe you were referring to the 1/2/.../n case, since for the y/n case, terminating is not the default. If so, then yes, the "n" there should be in caps, since terminating is the default; my bad. > Secondly, if we're at a tty, I suspect this behavior would be totally > unnecessary.

I believe that there would be very few options to choose from - in fact, I was trying very hard to get the number of suggestions to equal or exceed 5. I guess one would have better luck than I if they studied the Levenshtein distance algorithm, which I didn't. In other words - the time to consider is small. In fact I was hoping this would be faster than copy-paste - typing the option (1 key) and enter (1 key) makes a total of 2 keys only. -- Cheers, Ray Chuan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
