C-g should cancel

[lolbinarycat]

I just installed this, so perhaps I'm missing something, but when I ran the command to test it out, it was a bit annoying to cancel.

First I tried C-g, which didn't work, so I just closed the buffer, but then I was stuck with the selected item from the kill ring. The text couldn't be deleted, so I had to close the buffer entirely to get stuff back in order.

Works for me.

My only config for this part is (which is probably unrelated):

(when (require 'browse-kill-ring nil 'noerror)
  (browse-kill-ring-default-keybindings)
  (setq browse-kill-ring-quit-action 'save-and-restore))

C-g should be bound to browse-kill-ring-quit in the browse kill-ring buffer without requiring any additional setup. To double check this I did emacs -Q -l /path/to/browse-kill-ring.el then placed a few things in the kill-ring before M-x browse-kill-ring. Then in the new buffer that opens I'm able to use either q or C-g to close the buffer.

You could try opening starting browse-kill-ring in your usual setup, then in the browse buffer try C-h b to view the bindings. It's possible that something else is stealing the C-g binding maybe?

...or just: C-h k C-g in the kill-ring

C-g is bound to keyboard-quit.
Pressing q works for me, though. After looking back, that keyboard shortcut is actually mentioned in the minibuffer (which is what I was going to suggest).

C-g this seems to work fine, bound to browse-kill-ring-quit.
