Ingo Karkat ee94a3fac5 Return from user prompt without requiring Enter (#354)
* Tests: Add coverage for del / move without -f, but with prompting

Supplying the user confirmation via "yes".

* Cosmetics: Align inconsistent spacing for before (y/n) prompt

* Refactoring: Extract confirm() function

The user confirmation query had been duplicated (once) in the code.

* Refactoring: confirm(): Leave early if forced

* Return from user prompt without requiring Enter

By just reading a single character (y for yes, anything else: no).



* Tests: Ensure that only a single "y" concludes the confirmation

By switching from "yes" (that endlessly prints newline-separated "y"s) to "printf y".

* t1800-del: Add coverage for negative confirmation

Negative means "anything but y", so "n", "x", and Enter all apply.

* Cosmetics: Add trailing space after (y/n) prompt

So that the user's typed answer is not recorded directly after it, but with separation: "Foo? (y/n) y" instead of "Foo? (y/n)y".

*Compatibility: "read -N 1" is only available in Bash 4.1+

Mac OS still ships with Bash 3.2 :-( Fall back to the original prompting that requires conclusion via Enter then.
Note: Even though the tests use "printf y", this still gets accepted, as there'll be EOF after that. In real use (when stdin from the terminal stays open), a concluding Enter is mandatory, though.

Closes #152
