Subject: 29.1; `emoji-search' (C-x 8 e s) command can not be repeated using
 `repeat' (C-x z)
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 18:11:56 +0200

Hi all,

While playing with some of the new Emoji commands in Emacs 29.1, I
realized that some of them (esp. those involving interactive prompts)
are not repeatable via C-x z.

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Emacs using `emacs -Q'
2. Type C-x 8 e s and enter:

  up arrow

3. Observe that an "up arrow" emoji was inserted at point
4. Type C-x z

Expected behavior:

The last command is repeated, resulting in an additional "up arrow"
emoji being inserted at point.

Observed behavior:

No "up arrow" emoji is inserted.

The following messages are written on the *Messages* buffer:

Repeating command minibuffer-complete-and-exit
No match

That command is implemented on top of transient.el, and I'm not sure
transient supports "C-x z" repetition.  Jonas, can you comment on
this, please?

Thanks!

I see you installed this on master.  I would like to fix this on the
emacs-29 branch instead, since these commands are new in Emacs 29.  Do
you think it's okay to cherry-pick your two commits to emacs-29?  I'm
asking because AFAIR you made some changes in transient.el on master,
and I'm not sure whether the fixes you made today need those changes
to work.

Support implemented in 502e7c9a9b34c74b1b99f9e2f13a75f03dabba18 (and
a little follow up commit to fix a last minute hiccup).

There is nothing in Transient that would prevent commands from being
repeated using `repeat' or `repeat-complex-command', but of course
commands still have to follow the usual rules for making them
repeatable.

`emoji-search' even for glyphs that have no variants, because it read
from the minibuffer in the function body instead of inside `interactive'.

Same for `emoji-insert-glyph', but that additionally needed a bit of
transient specific work.  Normally such a command would use
`transient-args' to get the arguments from the transient prefix, much
like `current-prefix-args' works, but `emoji-insert-graph' is a bit
different, and we have the previously inserted graph elsewhere, when
the command is repeated (from the multisession-value `emoji--recent').

Yes, that should be totally safe, even without the changes since the
Transient version in Emacs 29.1.

I've installed those on emacs-29 as well.  I hope that is okay.  The
changes are mostly bug fixes, with some non-code changes sprinkled in,
though one of the bugfixes also comes with a breaking change.  (But that
was necessary to fix a bug and only has the potential to affect the most
obscure uses of transient.  I had planned to do that before the Emacs
29.1 release, but then that was suddenly there 🤩 *).

Going forward there will also be non-bugfixes again, I guess I'll have
to stop merging into emacs-29, once I get there?  Keeping two "built-in"
versions in sync with the version in my repository is more work, but it
probably won't be that bad.

By the way, my commit that added two variants of transient--wrap-command
for different Emacs releases was a mistake.  I intend to just keep the
respective appropriate version in the emacs-29 and master branches and
use static-if in my repository.  Once I've done that, I'll have to keep
three slightly different versions in sync anyway.

* In honor of my recent work on emoji.el. 😂😂😂😂😂 **
** Thanks to that it is now easy to repeat the same emoji.
   I wonder whether that is a good thing. 😉

Alas, it doesn't apply without conflicts, and changes some code that
doesn't exist on emacs-29 (emoji-insert-glyph etc.).  emoji.el on
master is quite different from the emacs-29 branch, so I'm afraid the
release branch will need a separate change, marked with "Do not merge
to master" in the commit log.  Is that possible/reasonable?

Probably.
