Detection of User Interaction Cycles and the Automation of these

[Nordlöw]

Hey again, Hackers!

I might have come up with a clever way to make Emacs propose potential
automations of the keyboard and/or mouse interaction, similar to
macros, in a non-obtrusive way, perhaps through minibuffer hintings,

I suppose that Emacs somewhere has a history of key-presses. Then we
could search that history starting at the recent event going backwards
through time looking for cycles. An integer keyboard-cycle-threshold
gives the limit above which Emacs will give hints to the user that an
automation is possible. And also propose this automation in terms of a
list of either keyboard shortcuts or the functions these shortcuts
were mapped to or, perhaps even descriptive, both.

This would make it easier for people to discover and appreciate the
macro possibilities of Emacs in contexts where they actually need it.

Any reflections?
