Hey!
Sometimes I need to use the repeat function (faux-fixe) but my drawings need to be on the right of the layer and the repeat going to the left. Could be a nice option!

can you explain more?
i cannot think directly of a situation where this would make a difference.
repeat is always a limited span of frames, so what does it matter if the source frames(the ones you repeat) are on the left or the right of this span?

When animating multiple characters or separating an animation on different layers (head, lipsynch etc while the body cycles) for exemple I prefer to work everything at the same spot regarding timing (for flipping for exemple, instead of having to mark every frame because that timing could change also). And sometimes I have to change timing on the right of the shot and I want it to adapt on the left. Or for exemple I have a loop that then catches another animation so I want to loop the beginning of the shot and work my frames next to the change.
I understand that "at the end" I could work it out so it loops the right way, but while working (and also when i send it to my assistant animator) it's handier sometimes to have my instances on the right while working.

But well maybe that's not that bad

no, i understand you now and think that it's a reasonable request.
and it wouldn't be too hard to implement... i guess.

But I think it would get very confusing since there's no indication besides the little number (which vanishes in collapsed timelines).

that copuld be fixed by adding a UI marker.

perhaps something like a colored line under the layer in the area of the frame names
