Description

Describe the feature

We currently have variants of command which can be used while in lockscreen (among other situations) and ones that repeat when held, but not one which does both.

Use case / Example

With an always + repeatable variant we could have volume keys which repeat and are usable on lockscreen

Benefits

Same as example

Research direction

Start by locating the existing command variants for lockscreen use and repeatable bindings, then trace how their binding options are represented and dispatched. Implementing the combined always + repeatable variant should support use on the lockscreen and repetition while held, including the volume-key use case described.
