DESCRIPTION Re-executes the last / Nth ex command previously entered in command mode. An optional pattern is used to locate the most recent matching command. This is similar to the command-line window (q:), or navigating the command history via <Up> and <Down>, but provides an even faster way to re-execute a command if you remember some characters or a pattern that identifies the command line. The redocommand itself will not be included in the command history. Global literal replacement can be done via 'old=new' arguments. This is modeled after the 'fc -s' command from the Posix shell (which is often aliased to 'r'). USAGE :[N]Redocommand (or abbreviated :R)                         Execute the last / Nth ex command. :[N]Redocommand {pattern}                         Execute the last / Nth ex command that matches                         {pattern}.                         Settings such as 'magic' and 'ignorecase' apply.                         With N=0, only the very last command from the history                         is executed if it matches {pattern}; the entire                         history isn't searched.                         Note: If the {pattern} starts with : (and there is no                         history command matching the literal ":cmd"), the                         history is searched for "cmd", anchored at the                         beginning. This is convenient because ":R :echo" is                         more intuitive to type than ":R ^echo". :[N]Redocommand {old}={new} [{old2}={new2} ...] [{pattern}]                         Execute the last / Nth ex command (that matches                         {pattern}), replacing all literal occurrences of {old}                         with {new}. :[N]RedoRepeat [{old}={new} ...] (or abbreviated :RR)                         Execute the last / Nth ex command that was repeated                         via :Redocommand. Any replacements done the last time                         are still in effect; new replacements of {old} to                         {new} can be added. The following variants are useful when you repeatedly use command A in one buffer and command B in another. Instead of passing different [N] values to :RedoRepeat, just recall from the local redo history. :[N]RedoBufferRepeat [{old}={new} ...] (or abbreviated :RB)                         Like :RedoRepeat, but repeat the last / Nth ex                         command repeated in the current buffer. :[N]RedoWindowRepeat [{old}={new} ...] (or abbreviated :RW)                         Like :RedoRepeat, but repeat the last / Nth ex                         command repeated in the current window. EXAMPLE Given the following history:     :history     1 e foo.txt     2 %s/foo/\0bar/g     3 w bar.txt :Redocommand            will execute :w bar.txt :Redocommand %          will execute :%s/foo\0/bar/g :Redocommand foo        will execute :%s/foo\0/bar/g :2Redocommand foo       will execute :e foo.txt :Redocommand b=B .txt=  will execute ':w bar.txt' as :w Bar :echo "another command" :RedoRepeat             will again execute :w Bar :2RedoRepeat            will execute :%s/foo\0/bar/g :RedoRepeat B=F         will execute :w Far :Redocommand            will execute :echo "another command" :RedoRepeat             will execute :w Far

install details

INSTALLATION This script is packaged as a vimball. If you have the "gunzip" decompressor in your PATH, simply edit the *.vba.gz package in Vim; otherwise, decompress the archive first, e.g. using WinZip. Inside Vim, install by sourcing the vimball or via the :UseVimball command.     vim redocommand.vba.gz     :so % To uninstall, use the :RmVimball command. DEPENDENCIES - Requires Vim 7.0 or higher. CONFIGURATION If you do not want the shorthand :R, :RR, :R... commands, define (e.g. in your vimrc):     let g:redocommand_no_short_command = 1

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
redocommand.vba.gz	1.40	2012-07-20	7.0	Ingo Karkat	ENH: Add :RedoBufferRepeat / :RB and :RedoWindowRepeat / :RW commands. These are useful when you repeatedly use command A in one buffer and command B in another. Instead of passing different [N] values to :RedoRepeat, just recall from the local redo history.
redocommand.vba.gz	1.30	2011-11-23	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- ENH: Add :RedoRepeat command to repeat the last / Nth :Redocommand when other Ex commands (e.g. :wnext) were issued in between. - ENH: If the {pattern} starts with : (and there is no history command matching the literal ":cmd"), the history is searched for "cmd", anchored at the beginning. This is convenient because ":R :echo" is more intuitive to type than ":R ^echo".
redocommand.vba.gz	1.20	2009-04-03	7.0	Ingo Karkat	- Added optional [count] to repeat the Nth, not the last found match. - Split off documentation into separate help file. Now packaging as VimBall. - Using separate autoload script to help speed up VIM startup.
redocommand.vim	1.10.005	2009-02-11	7.0	Ingo Karkat	Implemented ':Redocommand old=new <pattern>'. Now requiring VIM 7.
redocommand.vim	1.00.003	2008-08-04	6.0	Ingo Karkat	Better handling of errors during execution of the command. The redone command is added to the history.   Last version with support for VIM 6.2 - 6.4; dropped support for VIM 6.0 and 6.1.
redocommand.vim	0.02	2006-09-18	6.0	Ingo Karkat	Initial upload
