• bash script prompt (y/n) ?
  From Bash Script

  Go to text →

  Basic in line method

  read -p "Is this a good question (y/n)? " answer
  case ${answer:0:1} in
      y|Y )
          echo Yes
      ;;
      * )
          echo No
      ;;
  esac
  
  

  I prefer to use case so I could even test for yes | ja | si | oui if needed...

  In line with single key feature

  Under bash, we can specify the length of intended input for for the read command:

  read -n 1 -p "Is this a good question (y/n)? " answer
  

  Under bash, read command accepts a timeout parameter, which could be useful.

  read -t 3 -n 1 -p "Is this a good question (y/n)? " answer
  [ -z "$answer" ] && answer="Yes"  # if 'yes' have to be default choice
