I use epoch 4.0 patch level 2.
   
If I start a command while in one buffer and switch focus to any other buffer I
want the keyboard comand to quit.   How might I detect that a command is running
and issue an automatic keyboard quit for the command.   I would like to add this
lisp to a left mouse down detect or any function that is run when the
current-buffer  changes.

Now a command starts on one buffer and completes on another with usually strange
results.  Most times a keybord-quit is enough. In somecases I would like to
quit an isearch with the ESC.

I have a similar problem.  I want to quit isearch when I click the
mouse anywhere but quitting isearch also quits the command the mouse
was executing so I have to click again.  I have wrapped the
abort-isearch in an unwind-protect:

(unwind-protect (abort-isearch) ...)

but that doesn't seem to work, ie. the isearch aborts but the ...
doesn't get executed.  Is this a bug?

PS. Has anyone else noticed/fixed epoch crashing in the layout_*()
routines in xdispepoch.c?  It seems my previous little patch was not
enough.

Is "no" the answer to this question?
