When do you want to stop with echoing prior keys and make a cut? You
probably don't want to list the complete key history of the whole Emacs
session in the echo area...?
One thing in advance: key echoing is induced from C (including
`digit-argument') - if you want to have a very different behavior, this
won't be possible in a trivial way but only with some kind of hack.
Michael.
