The behavior of SIGINT (typically generated by Ctrl-C in the terminal)
is not documented.
It currently asks whether to exit, with MUTT_YES as the default:
/* this function is called when the user presses the abort key */
void mutt_query_exit (void)
{
mutt_flushinp ();
curs_set (1);
if (Timeout)
mutt_getch_timeout (-1); /* restore blocking operation */
if (mutt_yesorno (_("Exit Mutt?"), MUTT_YES) == MUTT_YES)
[...]
Why doesn't it use "query_quadoption (OPT_QUIT," like <quit> and <exit>?
This would be safer in case one types Ctrl-C + <Return> by mistake.
I often do Shift-C + <Return> (very quickly), but I sometimes mistype
Shift-C as Ctrl-C, hence the issue.
case OP_QUIT:
[...]
if (query_quadoption (OPT_QUIT, _("Quit Mutt?")) == MUTT_YES)
[...]
case OP_EXIT:
[...]
if ((!in_pager)
&& (query_quadoption (OPT_QUIT,
_("Exit Mutt without saving?")) == MUTT_YES))
BTW, as mutt_query_exit() doesn't save, the message should be
"Exit Mutt without saving?" like with <exit>, IMHO. Or even
either "Exit Mutt without closing the mailbox?" or
"Exit Mutt without cleanup?", since <exit> does
if (Context)
{
mx_fastclose_mailbox (Context);
FREE (&Context);
}
but mutt_query_exit() doesn't.
