Re: Repeating the last action
Yes, and when 'MP is more mature and you have more time, a simple macro recorder could also be a useful addition...
When processing a large number of images, it is often necessary to make a custom action, such as a custom selection, when all the preceding and all the following actions are identical for each image, and could be assigned to simple keyboard macros.
Meanwhile yunusuzi might consider using one of the standalone macro utilities:
Macro_recorder
AutoHotkey
AutoIt
Using a macro recorder, and as far as possible keyboard actions, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Re: Repeating the last action
A "Repeat Last Action" shortcut would definitely speed up repetitive editing tasks like repeatedly applying Gaussian Blur. Until a built-in repeat command or macro recorder is available, using an external automation tool such as AutoHotkey, AutoIt, or another macro recorder to map the required keyboard shortcuts is a practical workaround. For workflows where the same sequence of actions is repeated across many images, even a simple keyboard macro can save a significant amount of time while keeping the editing process consistent.
