Or my Sony digital camera.  There are about half a dozen keys for
entering into some submenu (which you can then navigate with arrow keys
and OK) and the only way to get out again is to press the _identical_
key again.  And it is not like you could press any of the other
menu-inducing keys before you got out of the first menu.

That's a user interface design beyond stupid.  That's downright
malicious.

C-g might not be in the same league, but I agree that not being able to
just quit without having to think about keystroke history is a nuisance.
