Would be great if less could have an option here to inhibit done... messages.

Use case: key binding for shell routines.

In 48036b4 you can begin a shell command with ctrl-P to suppress the "done" message.

Thank you, I'm appreciated for your great work

@gwsw I already have Ctrl-P bound to 'up' under #line-edit in my lesskey file, is there an alternative approach besides for me to disable it ?

[gwsw]

I don't think there's a way to both have ^P be a user-defined command and also use it as the message suppression character. You will probably need to remove the ^P command from your lesskey file if you want to use ^P to suppress the done message.
