What's so difficult in going to the file menu and selecting quit there?

This doesn't work, because Jed is not customizable through debconf, and
it will never be, because this would be a misuse of debconf, i.e. it's
not an essential configuration needed to run the editor.

This would be a valuable extension. We have to think about it a little
bit, but I would say we should add it. Or Günter, does jed-extra provide
such a script?

Bye, Jörg.
