Something like PressEchoRelease or PressRepeatRelease
Would only work on two state buttons I would presume?
Or a Latching (kind of like sticky keys) function, so when you press a button it does something until you press it again?
Kind of like GoZone but with a repeat function (or the ablity to repeat) inside rather than more buttons.

Just some quick thoughts on this.
I agree we need a repeat Action.
There are 2 flavours
Latching -- requires Press -- the Action repeat starts with the first press -- stops on the next press, etc.
Latching with delayed start -- requires PressRelease -- Action does not engage unless button is held down for a certain amount of time -- let's call it delay.
We also need to be able to tune the repeat frequency.
So this will look something like:
Code:
someButton SomePressAction Repeat=12
someOtherButton SomePressReleaseAction Repeat=24 Delay=3
That syntax looks pretty ugly right now, maybe it's the best we can do...
At any rate, I think this is a great example of something we want to think about a bit before implementing.
So, unless you have an urgent need, I'd like to push this one on the to-do stack for now.
That does not mean we should stop valuable discussion about a Repeat feature, or any other feature for that matter
Ideas flowing freely makes for a better end result -- every time !
