Well all I know is currently one would use RET y RET RET RET y RET y RET so how about a choice to reverse it to n RET RET n RET n RET RET RET to get the same effect. of course if they wanted to type n RET y RET n RET n RET y RET y RET then no changes are needed to the current version. Wait, how about an option to eliminate the need for RET: so now all they would need to type is RET y RET RET y y or even x y x x y y or any non y ... wait, how about just n,y,and q(to quit), and maybe "." to do 'execute this last one and then quit." No RET. Or even a way to configure what keys are wanted. No I don't think there is another program that can do all this.
