So suppose I'm compiling, and then I start typing. If this feature is enabled, a dialog would pop up when I press a key? Perhaps instead, we could add a menu entry next to "Cancel Background Process" along the lines of "Restart Compilation", that is also only visible when compiling? Or we could list it as an example in the LFUN doc. e.g. "consider making a keyboard shortcut for <<command-sequence export-cancel; buffer-export>> to restart compilation". Scott
