Make :SidewaysRight (etc) take a count?

Thanks for writing this, it's a huge timesaver already!
Is there a way for me to make Sideways bindings take a count? eg, if I bind gs to :SidewaysRight, using 2gs to do:
(hello, world, today) -> (world, today, hello)
It would also be awesome if it could support repeat.vim (https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat), so you can use . to repeat swaps.
Thanks again!

I'm in the middle of implementing something similar for the text objects, in issue #7. It makes sense to also add counts to the left and right motions, but I'd like to finish that issue first, so I can have a clean slate to work with.
How do you think that the counts should work in terms of looping? If you have 3 items and you type 4gs, should the argument loop around, or should it just go to the end?

Technically, it does, you can press . right now to perform another swap. Do you have a problem with the current implementation or did you just not know about it (I should check if I have it written down in the docs, I'm not sure)?

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad to hear it helps :).
Personally I'd have it loop around but I don't feel strongly. Another option is ala vim-outliner's levels -- 1-8 are the count, 9 is "all the way"
As to ., perhaps it's something about my bindings? I bind like:
nnoremap gs :SidewaysRight
nnoremap gS :SidewaysLeft
Works fine without ., but using . results in SidewaysRight being inserted as text.
I think github may have stripped some code, I guess the mappings you have are like this:
nnoremap gs :SidewaysRight<cr>
nnoremap gS :SidewaysLeft<cr>Is this correct?
Also, could you double-check that you have vim-repeat installed, just so we're sure it's not that.
Yes, the CR is there in my config. It looks exactly like what you posted. I verified that vim-repeat is installed. Thanks!
(I can do a clean config in the morning if nothing is coming to mind; to rule out other plugins interfering)
I figured out my issue was due to hacking Dvorak keybindings. (Still not sure why, but removing them makes . work correctly). Specifically, 'noremap : s' is the cause of the problem. Anyway, thanks for the thoughts! Leaving issue open because it's mostly about counts.
That's good news, I guess. And yeah, I need to get to the counts, but I've been a bit busy for a while. I'll see what I can do about it.
