With `list' I get this:
Hide Electric Pair Skip Whitespace Chars: Choice: Value Menu List:
Character: ^@
State : EDITED, shown value does not take effect until you set or save it.
Whitespace characters considered by ‘electric-pair-skip-whitespace’.
Groups: Electricity
And with `repeat', I get this:
Hide Electric Pair Skip Whitespace Chars: Choice: Value Menu Repeat:
INS
State : EDITED, shown value does not take effect until you set or save it.
Whitespace characters considered by ‘electric-pair-skip-whitespace’.
Groups: Electricity
If I now hit "INS", I see this:
Hide Electric Pair Skip Whitespace Chars: Choice: Value Menu Repeat:
INS DEL Character: ^@
INS
State : EDITED, shown value does not take effect until you set or save it.
Whitespace characters considered by ‘electric-pair-skip-whitespace’.
Groups: Electricity
And then when I try to delete "^@" to edit it, it changes to "\s", and
then I can't delete it to enter something else. So this all seems
pretty wonky to me. Is `repeat' that much of an improvement?
