Julia v1.9 - new q option does not quit

[albheim]

Running the PkgCleanup.manifests() function we get a terminal menu.
Here the q option did not quit, but took me to the y/n prompt where I was close to answering y because yes I want to quit. What it was asking was if I wanted to delete all manifest references (all were chosen as default on start, and I didn't change any).

Feels like as it is now q (quit) and d (done) do exactly the same thing, which is a bit wasted, and at least in my opinion it is a bit unintuitive to get asked about deleting all after saying I want to quit.

julia> PkgCleanup.manifests()
Select the Manifest.toml to keep in /home/mose/.julia/logs/manifest_usage.toml
[press: d=done, a=all, n=none]

there's no quit option or am I missing something?

Seems like that is new for 1.9, getting the same as you on 1.8 but for me it looked like this:

julia> PkgCleanup.manifests()
Select the Manifest.toml to keep in /local/home/albheim/.julia/logs/manifest_usage.toml
[press: Enter=toggle, a=all, n=none, d=done, q=abort]

Well, the problem of the q option is that it returns an empty set, which isn't very useful as it's identical to the n (none) option. There's no programmatic way to properly catch an actual quit. That's an upstream limitation in REPL.TerminalMenus. You may want to plug this into the brand-new issue JuliaLang/julia#48381

Makes sense, I'll see if I add it there somewhere instead then. Closing this.
