Yes, I suspected there was more to your
question - like an extra "d"...

Should `C-o d' echo just one "d"? How does
Emacs know when the keystroke is terminated?
Some timeout?

Is this something that's around Emacs in
general? How do you set it up regardless of
what C-D does?

I know you mentioned search - I have my own
search [1] which is why possibly I never
noticed. Or is it more common than that?
