Thank you for the feedback on naming!
Thanks for the suggestion! After thinking about this more, I believe repeat_set() / repeat_get() is the right choice:
Thank you for the feedback. A brief clarification.


I wonder what Bram’s stance would have been on AI.
Anyway, looks like it’s time to learn emacs.
Or just switch to Neovim?
Use Doom Emacs, then it’s usual Vim bindings + the space bar for fancy commands. The difficult part would be Emacs Lisp for customization, but then again it’s way better than Vimscript.
Thanks for the replies - going to check that out when I have time.
If you have a few days and feel like staying inside for a bit, check out the system crafters Emacs from scratch videos on yt (perhaps also elsewhere). They are awesome and get you started better than just downloading spacemacs or so, but take some time.
The learning curve is a bit steep, but if you already figured out – and felt comfortable in – Vim, it shouldn’t be that hard.
Some people suggest Doom Emacs or evil, but I enjoy learning ‘vanilla’ first, then going for some framework or customization layer afterwards, if I do it at all.
