Kakoune: repeat last `f` but in opposite direction
In Vim you can press ; to repeat the last f, and , to repeat it in the opposite direction. Is there any way to do this in Kakoune? I'm willing to map my own key binding, but I'm not sure how to do it.

We dont have any support for that, and I dont think its worth adding that feature. I wonder if we have the necessery hooks to capture the key hit on f or t, store it in an option/register, and then exec the reverse search on a mapping.

In vim, having , available lets you quickly cycle through matches with ;. Not having an equivalent means I now need to think carefully about each <a-.>, otherwise I might have to repeat the original f but in the opposite direction, which is slow.
898 is more than sufficient for this issue I think.
