Maybe some documentation in a prominent place (say README.Debian) would help
to make new users aware of the mechanism.



  In Jed, (almost all) actions can be aborted by pressing a configurable
  "abort character" or calling the function kbd_quit(). The most used
  default abort character is `Ctrl-G'. Some emulations use a different
  default:
    
    CUA:      `Ctrl-D' (and, if activated, ESC, see cua_escape_cmd())
    Wordstar: `Ctrl-6'
