Actually, it is recorded in a Lisp Vector, so it should be trivial to increase the size of that vector. We could add the size of the lossage buffer as a second arg to clear-this-command-keys which already interfaces to the recent keys vector. > I won't > recommend such a change for before the release, but that's just me. I don't see an urgent need, but it would be a trivial change. No, nothing urgent or even very important. If it could be done, I think it would be helpful. Even increasing 100 to, say 500 or 1000 would be helpful. For some reason, I find that on the rare occasions that I need to use this, what I'm looking for is often further back than 100 keystrokes.
