I mean you could do this:

repeat [#]
...
wait [#] secs
end

but I would like a new C block in town

No support as the workaround is less complex:

every (a) seconds {
} :: control loop

forever

. . .
wait (a) secs
end

if you think about it its more complex and newer users to scratch not experienced in programming won't think of that workaround, and would rather go for the “every seconds” block

While I agree that it is more complex, it's still pretty simple No support

I'm not sure I support this beacuse tye workaround is very easy ad I'm not sure when this will be used.

I think a block like

repeat for () seconds

end

would be nice too

end

…or if you just want to use the ‘days since 2000’ block.

I think this block may be confusing. Would it run every n seconds since the project was made, or since the green flag was clicked?

I fixed your c block.
The workaround to that is:

repeat for (e) seconds{
w::gray stack
}::control

workaround

reset timer
repeat until <(timer) > (e)>
w::gray stack
end

If it were to be implemented, it should be a hat.

every () seconds :: events hat
. . .

Too confusing, imo.

Yeah, you're right. It's sort of like if forever was a hat:

forever :: events hat

Tip: add @loopArrow to your scratchblocks to make this:

@loopArrow::events stack

Yes, forever is too confusing.
EDIT: Oh, wait, you already did.

No. This is extremely simple and anyone can think of this. The wait block and the forever block are both very beginner friendly.

There is a really simple workaround, no support. You can even do it with variables.

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(timer) > [10]> then
broadcast [every 10 seconds v]
reset timer
end
end
