Hmm, with your recipe on emacs master, "<f12> b" repeats, but "<f12>
a" doesnʼt. I have no clue why, they call the same underlying
infrastructure.

If I use the following instead:

(defun my-cmd-a ()
  (interactive)
  (forward-char 2))
(defun my-cmd-b ()
  (interactive)
  (backward-char 2))

it all works as expected, but Iʼm guessing you have a bunch of macros
defined already.
