Hey all:

I was demo'ing Stump to a coworker this afternoon and in order to cycle
through windows it was constantly PREFIX n, PREFIX n, PREFIX n. Normally
not a big deal, but with 6-7 windows and without having set binds for half
of them it gets a bit annoying; he picked it up and commented on it.

So, here's my idea: Have a binding like PREFIX C-l that locks the PREFIX
key on. Each time a keychord completes, it'd revert to having just PREFIX
entered.

For example:

PREFIX C-l
n
n
n
ESC

instead of the former. I have a couple of questions about this.

1) is this a good idea? Any major pitfalls that I'm not seeing?
2) if it's a reasonable idea, is there already a built-in way to do this?
3) if it doesn't already exist, what's a good way to go about it?

Ideally I'd like to be able to do it on submaps as well (eg s-w s-m is my
prefix for MPD control).

 -- David
