[PATCH] Overwrite existing file prompt now accepts 'y' and 'n' as shortcuts for 'yes' and 'no'

[scottjad]

It always bothered me that the "Overwrite existing file x?" prompt made me type out yes or no instead of taking y and n. No more!

Cheers,
Scott

I actually prefer having to write out "yes" because that makes me
think again before actually doing it. My five cents. :)

Try this in your setup:

  (fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p) ;; y/n instead of `yes/no'

It was intentional to require that the full "yes" or "no" be typed to
avoid accidental mistakes.  However, you could create a new
minibuffer.prototype.read_y_or_n function and then in your rc file
assign:

minibuffer.prototype.read_yes_or_no = minibuffer.prototype.read_y_or_n;
