 He is in CC. Let's just wait for his answer.

Sorry it took a while, I've been off the internet for the past week or
so.

Uwe is correct; I did not want to be able to exit the program so easily
with an inadvertent keypress.  It's my personal preference, and that
will remain the default in the official Orpie source.  Of course, if you
want to change the default in Debian, I don't have any problem with
that.

Try 'Q'. Is that easy enough?



It is, but 'q' would be even easier. And 'q' would be easy to
implement - you just add one line to orpie-1.4.3/orpierc.

You actually could do it yourself in ~/.orpierc, though I haven't tried
it. I suppose it was the intention of the author of orpie not to use
'q' for imediate quit.

It would be nice if the 'q' key and/or the Esc key quit Orpie.
Calculators are quick utilities, used for short periods of time, and
so IMO they should be easy to exit.

Cheers,
Jason
