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'
