Hello, and thanks to all for continued support and developement of the Linux kernel. :)
APPLICATION: This applies to all kernels, all distributions, and all architectures...
DESRIPTION: "make menuconfig" GUI issue
SETUP: When I run "make menuconfig" and I am in the process of enabling/disabling options, I have a "bad habit?" (that I'm sure is more like an epidemic) of placing one finger on the "Esc" key, one finger on the "Space" key, and another on the "Enter" key as I manuver through the various selections.
PROBLEM: (ocassionally) While I am speeding through the kernel configuration, I will accidentally hit the "Esc" key one too many times (I'm sure we've all done this) and it will leave me at the "exit" screen:
Do you wish to save your new kernel config?
<Yes> <No>
In this case, neither choice is acceptable. In a plea to save time for all, can someone please add one more simple choice to the "exit" menu?
Do you wish to save your new kernel config?
<Yes> <No> <Return to Config>
Thanks for your time, and thanks once again for all who continually work towards the advancement of Linux.
Regards, Steve Hampton
