Hi Guillermo,

A panic button is probably very useful. But I feel that we should not need one. The root of the problem is the fact that sometimes, the VM hangs and Alt-. does not work anymore. I tried to investigate on this some times ago, but I haven't found why.

A panic button is useful, but having Alt-. that always work would be really cool.


I think we are talking about different things. Forget about the name Panic and also about the interruption keys.

There is no new button. Right now, when using "Windows" -> "Close all windows" only those that were not edited are closed. And I think that even workspaces or other things, remind open. What Guillermo did was to change the behavior of "Close all windows" so that ot REALLY closes ALL opened windows, even if there had unsaved changes. This behavior of closing everything was quite similar to what is known as "panic button" in other dialects...this is why the relation.

I think this change is very useful.

Cheers

Just to share my impression.
