nothing is bad about using shift. but the question is, how pd should behave if your are NOT using shift, but click on the small X in the pd console window title bar (or a patch) that usually closes a patch or program without confirmation. (unless you haven't changed the document.) new users may want to close the console window not realizing that this closes pd itself. speaking for me, I find this confirmation really annoying. do I really find this annoying every single time! YES! marius.
