Using execute-extended-command (M-x) with vertico-repeat

[richardfrangie]

Hi, I'd like this same feature #249 (comment). I want to call execute-extended-command (M-x), write some strings, for example, org headi and on the next call to M-x, while in the minibuffer, display the string org headi, not the last command org-insert-heading.

I read this #249 (comment) and another issue #184 (comment). I configured it, and it works perfectly if, for example, I call the help variable using helpful-variable or search using consult-line. However, if I do it using execute-extended-command (M-x) , nothing happens, it always show me this:

M-x   [No repeatable session]

My init.el

(use-package vertico-repeat
  :after vertico
  :ensure nil
  :demand t
  :bind (("M-R" . vertico-repeat)
         :map vertico-map
         ("M-P" . vertico-repeat-previous)
         ("M-N" . vertico-repeat-next)
         ("S-<prior>" . vertico-repeat-previous)
         ("S-<next>" . vertico-repeat-next))
  :hook (minibuffer-setup . vertico-repeat-save))

Then I tried including this, but it's still the same

(add-to-list 'savehist-additional-variables 'vertico-repeat-history)
(setq enable-recursive-minibuffers t)

What am I doing wrong or does it not work for M-x? Thanks.

See vertico-repeat-filter.

Thanks, but it didn't work. Even worse, now even help-variable or consult-line don't work. They all always say the same thing: [No repeatable session].

I tried both values, and I made other weird inventions, but nothing.

I test it like this, using emacs -Q, it works for all except M-x.

(package-initialize)
(require 'vertico)
(vertico-mode)

(keymap-global-set "M-R" #'vertico-repeat)
(keymap-set vertico-map "M-P" #'vertico-repeat-previous)
(keymap-set vertico-map "M-N" #'vertico-repeat-next)
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'vertico-repeat-save)

Then I changed it as it appeared in the response, and now none of them work. The variable appears as follows:

vertico-repeat-filter is a customizable variable defined in
vertico-repeat.el.

Value
#[(command) (t) (t)]

Original Value
(vertico-repeat vertico-repeat-select execute-extended-command
                execute-extended-command-for-buffer)

[minad]

No, this is not correct. vertico-repeat-filter is a list of commands, which are excluded from repeating.

[richardfrangie]

Ah, I see. I misread the variable. I thought they were the commands that appeared, not the ones to exclude.

I did this and it worked perfectly. Thanks.

(setq vertico-repeat-filter '(vertico-repeat vertico-repeat-select))
