Thanks for these tips!  I actually already had setup method 1
(set-transient-map) for other-window, but never bothered with undo.

Method 2 (repeat) is neat!  I wonder whether these three variables you
bind should be mentioned in repeat's docstring, I would never have
guessed this function could be programmed this way.


(Though I did get a kick just now out of reading repeat.el's commentary,
squinting at the existentialist conclusion, checking the "Author:"
attribute just in case, and finding out that yep, this *is* Will
Mengarini's fine work.)
