type-break-mode: New variable and function. type-break-interval: Increase default to 1 hour. type-break-query-interval: Variable renamed from type-break-delay-interval. type-break-keystroke-interval: Variable deleted. type-break-keystroke-threshold: New variable. type-break-demo-life: Function renamed from type-break-life. type-break-demo-hanoi: Function renamed from type-break-hanoi. type-break-alarm-p: Variable renamed from type-break-p. type-break: Don't query. type-break-query: (New function) query here. type-break-check: Call type-break-query, not type-break. Do nothing if type-break-mode is nil. Increment type-break-keystroke-count with the length of this-command-keys, not just 1. Query for break when keystroke count exceeds cdr of keystroke threshold variable. Query for break after an alarm only if keystroke count exceeds car of keystroke threshold variable. type-break-select: Function deleted. type-break: Move that code here. type-break-cancel-schedule: Function renamed from cancel-type-break. Reset type-break-alarm-p. type-break-alarm: Function renamed from type-break-soon. (top level): Call type-break-mode; don't set up hook explicitly.

;;; Commentary:

;; This mode provides a hook which is, by default, attached to various
;; putatively dangerous commands in a (probably futile) attempt to
;; prevent lusers from shooting themselves in the feet.

;;; Code:

;; This function is called (by autoloading)
;; to handle any disabled command.
;; The command is found in this-command
;; and the keys are returned by (this-command-keys).
