Documentation

Non-nil if Repeat mode is enabled.

See the repeat-mode(var)/repeat-mode(fun) command for a description of this minor mode. Setting this variable directly does not take effect; either customize it (see the info node (emacs)Easy Customization) or call the function repeat-mode(var)/repeat-mode(fun).

  "Toggle Repeat mode.
When Repeat mode is enabled, certain commands bound to multi-key
sequences can be repeated by typing a single key, after typing the
full key sequence once.

The commands that can be repeated in this way are those whose symbols
have the `repeat-map' property, which specifies a keymap of single keys
for repeating.

Normally, invoking a command outside that keymap terminates the
repeating sequence.  However, if the command's `repeat-continue'
property is non-nil, it may instead continue the current repeating
sequence: if the property is a list of keymaps, then the command
continues when the current repeat map is in the list; if the property is
t, the command always continues the sequence.

See `describe-repeat-maps' for a list of all repeatable commands."
