Hi,
I sometimes want to repeat a sequence of operations
like I would repeat a single command.
For example, I can repeat with '.' something like:
gI//<ESC> {is a single operation '.' repeats all}
But I cannot as easily repeat:
02r/ { '.' will repeat the 2r/ , but not the move to 0 }
[ Let's not focus on the example sequence I am using here,
I do know that there are other ways to comment a line ]
The obvious choice to repeat multiple operations is to record
a macro (for example: qq02r/q ), and replay it with @q.
Unfortunately, '.' after @q only replays the last action
within the macro, not the whole macro execution.
So I have to repeatedly type two awkward keys (@q) instead
of being able to use the dot command to repeat the whole
sequence of operations.
[ I wonder why this behavior was chosen. Is there any
way to have '.' repeat the whole macro instead ? ]
Occasionally, I will create a temporary keyboard mapping,
only to be able to more easily repeat an edit sequence.
Am I missing an easier way ?
Thanks,
Ivan
