repeat-mode is completely failing to operate as advertised. I get the message saying it's enabled, and thereafter Emacs carries on exactly as if it has not been enabled, with supposed command-repeating keys instead being inserted into the buffer. In other words, I have never seen repeat mode work. No error messages appear. How might I go about debugging this?
Example sequence:
- Split a frame into two or more windows
M-x repeat-mode(I have it onC-R). The "mode enabled" message appears.C-x oswitches buffer as expected.o(or uppercaseO) is inserted instead of repeatingswitch-buffer. No error, no debugger withtoggle-debug-on-error.M-x repeat-mode. The "mode disabled" message appears.
Ditto for the window-resizing suite of commands.
M-x describe-repeat-maps shows the window movement and resizing suites plus several others as expected. But no!
Emacs 28.1 with native comp, Manjaro, StumpWM.
Repeat mode is enabled for 23 commands and 9 keymaps; see ‘describe-repeat-maps’. Try doingM-x describe-repeat-mapsand seeing ifother-windowis in there? Emacs 29.0.50 built about two months ago from git.emacs -Q? If not, try that. If no problem that way, then bisect your init file to find the culprit.emacs -Q, blast it. Unfortunately my config is simply too complex to bisect, a web of interlocking autoloads in 96 files. Anyway, it's obviously my problem to solve alone. I was hoping somebody knew the mechanism thatrepeat-modeuses to intercept keystrokes. Thanks for your help anyway guys. I'll leave this up for a while in case I come up with a solution. In the meantime, it's back toC-x zfor me.repeat-modeworks. Surely you can load some subset of your setup and check that, to at least narrow the search space somewhat. Anyway, good luck.
