You saw what I posted here:
https://github.com/leo-editor/snippets/blob/master/on_typing_idle.py

so it would just be a matter of packaging - I would think the turn off
would have to be more specific than Ctrl-G, which the user may be using
for other things.

Also might be more useful to allow something other than just
repeat-complex-command, seeing the user may be using that for other
things too.

Seemed that the use case was:

Edit a document using any of Leo's features including Alt-X and Ctrl-G
(potentially), and, when no typing has occurred for a set time, run a
command or script or something *once* to render the doc.

I have no plans to do more with it, the script I posted could be used
to make a couple of buttons to start and stop the monitoring.

Cheers -Terry
