This is not really a feature, as such, but it is a classic work-around for one emacs' many silly defaults:
; Ask for y/n on all queries that normally ask for yes/no.
(fset 'yes-or-no-p 'y-or-n-p)
- tikhonj 15y agoI personally don't think that default is silly. I've noticed that some (usually less important) questions use y or n already; the yes/no is reserved for important ones. I don't mind having to type a bit more before recursively deleting a directory, for example.
- jrockway 15y agoI do this, but defalias is a better choice for implementing it than fset.
