True, that would be more general. > It is probably just as convenient, and maybe simpler too. Would you > like to give that a try? For executing previous command I did some investigation and looked up how `repeat' does it and it was way too complicated to me with a lot of handling of special cases. And when it comes to reading the next command, I would not even know where to begin. I see that there is the function `read-command' to read a commands name, but that does not seem very convenient. I guess I could also read the next keyboard sequence, and even if I manage executing the bound command, what if that command would require user interaction, e.g. response in the minibuffer? By forcing the user to record a keyboard macro for what he wants to repeat, I get around all these problems, problems that didn't even exist before you suggested the above... :) Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, it is a good idea, but way over my elisp capabilities. What could be a good idea, however, would be to add something similar to my hack to the kmacro package. I think it would fit quite well in there. /Mathias _______________________________________________ gnu-emacs-sources mailing list gnu-emacs-sources@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-emacs-sources
