Have eating take higher priority

[susb8383]

I've done this enough to be frustrated:

I'm in the middle of trying to get to level 100 of Skull Cavern and I try eat something while standing next to a ladder. Since I've just right-clicked on food, I automatically choose Yes thinking it asked me if I want to eat, but really it asked me if I want to leave the mine and all my efforts at my deep dive are gone.

Can the game be changed so that eating takes a higher priority than leaving or any other thing that might be affected by a right-click?

Sounds more like a personal habit issue than an issue with the game itself
perhaps you could try... moving away from the ladder and then eating the food.

Yes, if I thought about it, I would do that. But the point is that we've all played this game so many times, we do certain things quickly, like select Y when eating food. And if don't happen to notice that I'm standing next to the ladder, the bad result from having 'Exit Skull Cavern' take precedence over eating is much, much worse. The way it is now, I could get tossed out of Skull Cavern after 99 levels. If they switched what takes priority, the worse thing that would happen is I would eat something when I meant to leave--not as big a deal.
