Any way to intercept C-g

[super-tomcat]

Hi, is there anyway to intercept the user pressing C-g when they cancel the popup menu, so that i can take some action before my program ends?

It seems to me that when using popup-menu* it just cancels without informing the calling program.

thanks

Hi, I don't want do you mean here. Do you mean that you want to do some execution before the popup menu ends? 😕

I think you can add advice after popup-delete function? Not sure if this will work.

(advice-add 'popup-delete :after (lambda (popup) (message "do somthing"))

I found a way using (inhibit-quit t) with:

(unless (with-local-quit
                  (progn

etc

After user presses C-g i can then intercept, do what i need and set Quit flag to t with (setq quit-flag t)
