What exactly do the "repeat" actions do?

[woutervanvliet]

Thanks for a great plugin. Just installed it, and I can already tell this is going to save me a bunch of time. I just really can't figure out what the "Insert Random Repeated XX" actions do - they seem to just add a random value, just like the non-repeated versions.

Thanks

If you have multiple carets then the repeat actions insert the same value at each caret. The regular actions insert different values at each caret.

I agree that this name is a bit vague, so if you have any suggestions they're very welcome!

Thanks! Maybe just add an explainer to the plugin details page, or readme file. Sounds super useful BTW

Good idea! It's mentioned in the README in the How to use section, but it's not really obvious if you're looking for the word "repeat". I'll see if I can clarify the README.
