Think of this email not as a bug, but as a note ... So, feel free to
close it after digesting the contents.
Context:
When I look at the documentation of many of the MELPA packages,
they have long long long lines i.e., one line per-paragraph. It
always bothers me when I run across such files. I always hated
reaching out to menu to fix the wrap. Now that there is
`repeat-mode', I can mindlessly keep pressing a key--F12 in the
present case--to cycle through various wraps until I land in the
one that is agreeable.
;; Pressing F12 repeatedly is equivalent to cycling through the
;; following 3 radio buttons
;;
;; 1. Wrap at Window Edge
;; 2. Truncate Long Lines
;; 3. Word Wrap (Visual Line Mode)
;;
;; in Menu->Options->Line Wrapping in this Buffer.
;;
;; This is implemented through the all new `repeat-mode' feature.
;;
;; Much like how `C-l' (= `recenter-top-bottom') cycles the cursor
;; though different positions, pressing F12 will take the buffer
;; through different wrap settings.
;;
;; This is what I see in *Messages* buffer when I press F12
;; repeatedly.
;;
;; Visual-Line mode enabled
;; Visual-Line mode enabled [Repeat with <f12>]
;; Truncate long lines enabled
;; Truncate long lines enabled [Repeat with <f12>]
;; Truncate long lines disabled
;; Truncate long lines disabled [Repeat with <f12>]
;; Visual-Line mode enabled
;; Visual-Line mode enabled [Repeat with <f12>]
;; Note: Instead of wrapping at window edge, a better idea would be to
;; use `visual-fill-mode'. See
;; https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/visual-fill.html.
;; It may be a good idea (?) to provide a macro, say, `chaincmds',
;; which can generate the below code when invoked with
;;
;; (chain-cmds (kbd "<f12>")
;; '(menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable
;; menu-bar--toggle-truncate-long-lines
;; menu-bar--wrap-long-lines-window-edge))
(define-key global-map (kbd "<f12>") 'menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable)
(let ((key [f12]))
(defvar menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable--repeat-map
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) map))
(define-key menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable--repeat-map key 'menu-bar--toggle-truncate-long-lines)
(put 'menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable 'repeat-map 'menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable--repeat-map)
(defvar menu-bar--toggle-truncate-long-lines--repeat-map
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) map))
(define-key menu-bar--toggle-truncate-long-lines--repeat-map key 'menu-bar--wrap-long-lines-window-edge)
(put 'menu-bar--toggle-truncate-long-lines 'repeat-map 'menu-bar--toggle-truncate-long-lines--repeat-map)
(defvar menu-bar--wrap-long-lines-window-edge--repeat-map
(let ((map (make-sparse-keymap))) map))
(define-key menu-bar--wrap-long-lines-window-edge--repeat-map key 'menu-bar--visual-line-mode-enable)
(put 'menu-bar--wrap-long-lines-window-edge 'repeat-map 'menu-bar--wrap-long-lines-window-edge--repeat-map))

Thanks, your notes will be saved for posterity, although I see
nothing actionable here, repeat-mode is not like a hydra package.
