Repeat Commands

Run a command or a set of commands any number of times. The commands to be run are listed in a keybinding. The number of times to run the commands can be included in that keybinding or obtained by opening an Input Box for the user to enter some number.

You can optionally run a command(s) before and after the repeated squence has run.

Sample Keybinding

  {
    "key": "alt+r",                           // whatever keybinding you want
    "command": "repeat-commands.runSequence",
    
    "args": {
      
      "preCommands": "editor.action.clipboardCopyAction",
      
      "commands": [                            // these will be repeated
        "editor.action.insertLineAfter",
        "editor.action.clipboardPasteAction",
        
        // can run vscode extension api commands too
        "workbench.action.files.newUntitledFile",
        "vscode.languages.setTextDocumentLanguage(document, 'css')"  // using single quotes inside double-quotes
      ],
      
      // "repeat": 5,   // hard-coded amount to repeat the 'commands``
      "repeat": "${getRepeatInput}",  // to prompt the user for a 'repeat' number
      
      // "postCommands": "editor.action.insertLineAfter"  // applies to last file/line created
    }
  },

If you have no repeat argument, then 0 will be used - so the commands will be run once.

If you want to use vscode's extension api commands, then they should look like

"vscode.languages.setTextDocumentLanguage(document, 'css')"  

await will be added to all commands so you do not need to add that.

The command must start with vscode. as all api's do.
