I kind of like "[Y/n/q/.../?]", but searching across all of the Debian source packages, doesn't seem to be a common pattern to have: https://codesearch.debian.net/perpackage-results/y%2Fn%2F/2/page_0 (only looked to the first few pages) Nothing matches "y/n/..." in real code: https://codesearch.debian.net/results/y%2Fn%2F%5C.%5C.%5C./page_0 "y/n.*/\?" is not very popular either: https://codesearch.debian.net/results/y%2Fn.*%2F%5C%3F/page_0 I don't recall seeing examples of this in other tools, either. So in the absence of evidence that this is a good thing to add, no seconds or more opinions for many years, I think that it's better to stay as we are. Closing the bug after many years gathering dust. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
