Also I noticed another problem with using `t' for KEEP-PRED in 
set-transient-map:
it doesn't handle `repeat-exit-key' after every command.  So `t' can't be used.

The problem is that currently we get `repeat-map' only from command symbol:

  (get this-command 'repeat-map)

But maybe we could allow the command to set its next repeat-map explicitly:

  (define-key map "O" (lambda ()
                        (interactive)
                        (setq repeat-map 'other-window-repeat-map)
                        (other-window -1)))
