All, I've been wondering about the use of CTRL-C regarding timers. There has been a lot of discussion on ways to regain control in the face of a runaway timer, which is of course an important consideration. I've been wondering, however, about any negative effects of accidental cancellation. If I understand correctly, when a user presses CTRL-C while a timer happens to be running, that timer will be canceled and not rescheduled. Can this happen accidentally when the user is pressing CTRL-C for other reasons (e.g., to abandon an ex-mode command he was typing)? Since timers might be running at arbitrary times, how can a user be sure it's safe to press CTRL-C without running the risk of canceling a timer by mistake? Should it require multiple CTRL-C presses in a row before aborting current and future timers, or is there some other way to make sure the user won't accidentally cancel timers that are operating properly?
