I think that this hotkey in EDIT should be removed,
becouse accidently pressed (in polish version of MS DOS
7.x ALt-P is hotkey for Files menu translated into
polish word Pliki) reorganize completely edited text.
It is very annoying especially while editing fdauto.bat
and config.sys!!!
Alt+P
hotkey is still present in FreeDOS 1.3rc2 EDIT 0.9a.I think, because of i18n, we should avoid Alt+letter hotkey combinations at all.
There's also
Alt+X
to exit EDIT.What alternatives?
Ctrl+P
is already in use.MS-DOS EDIT is no inspiration here, as it doesn't support "paragraph reforming" and doesn't have a hotkey for exiting.
How about the Windows-like
Alt+F4
for exiting andCtrl+R
for reform(att)ing?https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/base/edit-freedos/-/issues/7
