Package: ncurses-hexedit
Version: 0.9.7-14
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream


'hexeditor' uses Ctrl-C to exit the program without saving any changes
to the underlying file.

To debug software which is writing binary files, I frequently use this
program to verify that what the program has written is correct.  As
such, I frequently start the program up, look at a few bytes, terminate
it, run my software, start the program up again...

Every time I terminate the program with Ctrl-C, it asks if I could
like to save my changes -- even if I have never made any changes.  It
would be nice if the program detected that the buffer was unmodified
and simply terminated without pestering the user with such a silly
question.
