Bind a single arrow keypress to multiple arrow keypresses

Solution 1:

Sometimes solutions are sooooooo simple …
Just grant each "key_code" a pair of brackets of its own – like this:

 "to": [
        {"key_code": "left_arrow"},
        {"key_code": "left_arrow"},
        {"key_code": "left_arrow",
           "repeat": false }
        ]

… and your code will run easily.

"repeat": false (last key_code!) constricts left-arrows to "only once" even if held down.
