why is SPC-c c for compiling and SPC-c C for recompiling? [DOOM EMACS] (alien.top)

i'm pretty sure i'm overthinking this but why does doom emacs have

SPC-c c for compiling

and SPC-c C for recompiling

i thought it should've been other way round as i generally put the command for compiling and then just keep recompiling repeatedly and i believe doing SPC-c c is faster than pressing SPC-c C

​

when so you either have four keys to press by doing SPC-c c to recompile

or you have to press four keys by doing SPC-c c assuming you press shift for C

what i prefer doing is using SPC-c c for recompiling only three keys to press

and SPC-c c for compiling normally

​

it's just a little thing annoying me whenever i go from one config of doom emacs to another

every person i've seen doesn't reconfigure this. but they do seem to be bothered by this they do realize how annoying it is but don't want to go through the hassle to remap that

​

what do you guys think am i too paranoid about this is my OCD kicking in or do you feel the same ?

The beauty of Emacs is that my opinion doesn't matter at all (hell, you've already decided to use doom), if you dont like a keybinding go ahead and change it.

I think I thought the same as you, but got used to the default setup. I don't mind pressing the Shift key as it feels intentional and makes me focus on doing meaningful changes between compiles instead of fidgeting and just spamming the compile all the time.
