Right, I understand what your problem is. The reason why I suggested what 
I did was because in essenece "Down arrow" followed by "Up arrow" would be 
faster than "down arrow" press "n" to "no" to cancel. After 2 years, it 
may become second nature ;).

The only workaround that I see is to patch the code to avoid the question
at all.
