Well, that settles it. So you probably wouldn't even want to press return twice, like Scott suggested.
Having to press return twice is about the worst idea suggested here. How do you press return twice from inside a script? At least using an option, or even a funny character, instead of the mapfile is scriptable.
After all it is your tool
I try to never make a decision because "it is my tool", but because I think it is the best decision overall.
The added text in the --help output certainly helps. But maybe you could add at least a line like "warning: No mapfile specified!" to ddrescue's normal output.
I have just added the text also to the Chapter "Invoking ddrescue". I'll try to add the warning (probably at verbosity levels 1 and above) to the next version.
