Making Modal Operator Hotkeys repeatable could boost efficiency
Example: After pressing 'K' to cut, pressing 'K' again could confirm the cut and start a new one. When doing repeated actions, every time you have to take your finger off the key you lose .3-.7 seconds and get a little distracted (even if you don't notice it). Repeating that thousands of times adds up to a lot. Same goes for all Modal Operators.

For Knife you can press E for new cut and space or return for confirm.
* @yasharjk * Thanks, but that's the point. You can't press 'K' twice to make two cuts, and the same goes for all other operators. Also it's not about features of any particular operator, but of the way operators execute in general. Making it faster and more provoking to creation of reflexes. It may sound insignificant, but it would actually save time and some attention once used to and be quite intuitive to new users.
* @visnevskis * Some of the modal keymaps can be changed as a workaround or a complete solution... For knife tool you can change E to K, give it a try. {attachment Knife_Modaljpg}
* @yasharjk * Thanks, that does work indeed! Will definitely use it. Still - would be cool if everyone could, as it's something you know you miss only after trying somewhere before :)
* @visnevskis * It would be easier to not miss it if the UI exposing the keys of the current tool you're in were better designed and positioned in the UI.
