When given a [Y/n] prompt, and input other than 'n' means 'Y'.

Using -Syu etc. any input that isn't 'n' continues the build/install process- I've seen it on '7' and 'h' so far.

IIRC it should have been fixed by #230. Could you try using git version of yaourt ?

I'm sorry but isn't it supposed to be working this way? I thought capital 'Y' meant default, i.e. anything other than 'n' would be 'yes'.

UP: However, this also works inconsistently: when I pressed space to the first prompt, it was handled as 'yes'; but the second one handled space as 'no' - build stopped.

$ LANG=C yaourt -S yaourt-git

It was the original behaviour but we agreed to align to pacman behaviour in #218.

Good catch, I probably missed this one in #230.

Yes, for Y/n options the behavior seems to be aligned. There seems a problem with e.g. Y/n/A options.

pacman behavior is different: it ignores (just prints) all symbols but 'Y'
and 'n':

$ sudo pacman -S pacman

IIRC, yaourt does the same by setting NOENTER=0 in yaourtrc.

I have the same problem. how it should work imo:
enter: use default
Y/y: yes
N/n: no
