    "repeat" Command just little bit "smarter"

    Hi,

    The "repeat" command (default keystroke "n") is very useful, but has an anooying behaviour. Please, try the following:
    1- Do anything (walk, cast a spell, etc).
    2- Press R (to Rest)
    3- Hit ESC (you decided to rest later, not now)
    4- Hit n (to repeat last command)

    It will try to repeat the R command. I know it was the last, but I cancelled it with ESC. IMO, it should repeat only "completed" commands. In this example, the action of step 1.

    Anybody agree?

    Maybe it should repeat the ESC?

      The behaviour of 'n' has changed since the last release and now does what you suggest.

        You could expand upon this by having repeat, not repeat (ignore) some commands like movement and look (and maybe some others) , and instead repeat previous command.

        It would also be helpful if repeating the Rest command continued with the previously selected duration rather than re-prompting you (since rest is often interrupted by harmless events).

          The change that made 'n' more intelligent also did what you said above (except it includes movement).

            You're just adding features as soon as they're posted to this thread, aren't you?

            I think 'n' should do the command the player is thinking, unless that would get them killed, in which case it should do the command they should do.

              Maybe in 3.1.2?

                  Next release will be 1.0.0. It currently glories in the title 1.0.0alpha2; most of the major surgery is done, but there are about 50 things still on the to-do list, not including the bug I just found and all the ones I haven't found yet. Suffice to say, it won't be the next competition.
