I tried out the patch and overall I like all of the improvements. The
only suggestion would be to make the "ask again" prompt different from
the original ask prompt. For example:

unknown command '<what the user typed instead>': press return to
proceed or enter x and return to cancel

That way it's clear to the user what they did wrong
