Remove CTRL+C quickkeys
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:33 »
Some of you may know, that using ctrl+c during DoomRL session will terminate the game, shut it down, giving you no warning. But, where's the problem? You don't have to push those buttons, you may say.
Unfortunately, my keyboard has a quickkey for ctrl+c, located RIGHT BELOW PgDown. Today, I've lost a really good HMP run only because of mispressing one button. And so, I kindly ask to terminate Ctrl+C (if it's possible, of course!).

Heh, oops ^^
Well personally I don't think it should be removed, but there should be at least a (Y/n) warning, cause even a thermonuclear bomb is safer than no quit warning :p

You really should try it someday.

It's a "feature" of the console, not of DoomRL. It never even get's to the program layer.

Oh my. I was afraid of that. I guess that I'll have to watch my fingers, then.

Haha! Ubuntu's terminal doesn't have this problem (Ctrl-C does nothing when playing DoomRL)! >:D

Thanks to the Almighty God of ^C, I have just terminated my best AoB run. *Sigh*
