If you see a prompt saying:

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

If you see a prompt saying:

Proceed [Y/n]:

and you type yt by accident then press Enter...

...do you expect the program to proceed or not?

#CLI #CLIDesign

@steffo usually no, depends on what the action is
prefer the most undoable one

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

strangely enough pacman seems to proceed while paru does not

[efi@chitter.xyz]

@steffo (or just ask again)

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

@efi that would be ideal tbh

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

Bonus question!

If you see a localized prompt saying the same thing in your language, like:

Procedi [S/n]:

and you type in y then press Enter...

...do you think it should go ahead or require you to explicitly press your language's equivalent for Yes (in this case, s)?

@steffo yt? nothing should happen
not the same as either option or enter

[twinspin6@outerheaven.club]

@steffo just like dnf does it

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

@twinspin6 what does it do? reprompt?

[oftl@fedi.at]

@steffo guess i'd expect it to just read one char

[steffo@a.junimo.party]

@oftl so... yes?
