I got a few questions aimed mostly at correcting my own stupidity.
Inscriptions nicely allow you to place confirmation prompts to prevent accidental stupidity. !w, !q, !f, !r, etc all allow you to stop yourself from using the wrong item at the wrong time. Is there any way to do something similar to abilities or spells? I would love a !s(or !z ?) and !a to prevent accidental casts.
Similarly, is there a way to force confirmation prompts on arbitrary commands? Maybe in init.txt? For instance, I never use autoexplore or the run keys- yet I sometimes hit one by accident and in the time it takes me to react and stop my characters have been off and running for paces. I'd love a way to force a "really autoexplore?".
Finally, I'd like to force "--more--" messages after Hell effects, since they tend to hit while I'm running around, and I don't always stop moving soon enough. Unfortunately, so far as I can tell, using init.txt you can only trigger mores based off of message text and I don't think there's a common phrase to all hell effects (there's a lot of varied flavor text actually- which is usually a good thing). I don't suppose there's a way to to tie the more trigger to say, the calling of the hell effect function? Or would I just have to spend 20 lines of special cases to cover all the hell effects?
