It's trivial to create a repeating command, so you
can use `C-x u u u u ...'.
Either of the definitions below for this (`undo-repeat')
works. The second one is not specific to any key binding
- use it with any prefix key, not just `C-x u'.
Then use this binding:
(global-set-key [remap undo] 'undo-repeat)
1.
(defun undo-repeat (arg)
"Same as `undo', but repeatable even on a prefix key.
E.g., if bound to `C-x u' then you can use `C-x u u u...' to repeat."
(interactive "*P")
(undo arg)
(set-transient-map (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
(define-key map "u" 'undo-repeat)
map)))
2.
(defun repeat-command (command)
"Repeat COMMAND."
(require 'repeat) ; Define its vars before we let-bind them.
(let ((repeat-previous-repeated-command command)
(repeat-message-function #'ignore)
(last-repeatable-command 'repeat))
(repeat nil)))
(defun undo-repeat (arg)
"Same as `undo', but repeatable even on a prefix key.
E.g., if bound to `C-x u' then you can use `C-x u u u...' to repeat."
(interactive "*P")
(repeat-command 'undo))
Similarly, for `C-x o' (`other-window'):
(defun other-window-repeat ()
"Same as `other-window', but repeatable even on a prefix key.
E.g., if bound to `C-x o' then you can use `C-x o o o...' to repeat."
(interactive)
(repeat-command 'other-window))
(global-set-key [remap other-window] 'other-window-repeat)
I do this all over the place, where it makes sense.
