RepeatLast.vim by joeytwiddle Provides <count>\. to repeat the last group of actions you performed.                 "A beautiful monster" -- bairui in #vim The '.' key is fantastic for repeating the last 1 action you made.  But sometimes I do three actions, and then want to repeat them again.  Now this is just 3\. BEWARE: Because it uses macro recording *all the time*, it sort of takes over your Vim, and can impact your usual experience.  Be prepared!   :set ch=2       if the word "recording" hides messages you wanted   :let g:RepeatLast_TriggerCursorHold = 1  or  0   for GUI fixes Also: :RepeatLastDisable :RepeatLastEnable :RepeatLastToggleDebugging == Usage == Assuming your mapleader is '' (the default), these |mappings| are created:   \?   Display a list of recently recorded actions   4\?  Display the last four recorded actions   \.   Repeat the last action (similar to . but may replay just a movement)   4\.  Repeat the last four recorded actions (including movement actions)   \\.  Replay the last *repeated* action-group (all 4 actions above)   9\\. Replay the last *repeated* action-group 9 times (producing 9 times 4)   \D   Forget (drop) the last action (e.g. to discard an unwanted movement)   3\D  Drop the last 3 recorded actions (useful to get back to earlier state)   \|  or  \#        Temporarily enable/disable recording for the next few actions        (Allows free movement without adding new actions to history)   4\G  Grab the last 4 actions and store in register 'g'   @g   Repeat the actions stored in register 'g'   :let @i=@g        Copy the actions to register 'i', so 'g' may be overwritten.   :let g:RepeatLast_SaveToRegister = 'p'        Always save any repeated action-group into @p   :let g:RepeatLast_TriggerCursorHold = 0        Disable the UI fix.  CursorHold events will not fire. Commands are also available for the main shortcuts above:   :ShowRecent   :RepeatLast   :DropLast   :PauseRecording   :GrabLast Commands to toggle state at runtime:   :RepeatLastEnable    Enables action recording, enters macro record mode.   :RepeatLastDisable   Disables action recording, leaves macro record mode.   :RepeatLast<Ctrl-D>  or  <Tab>      More commands, some toggle info. New feature - Auto Ignoring:   After executing a repeat action, action storage will be *temporarily   disabled* for the number of actions specified by:     let g:RepeatLast_Ignore_After_Use_For = 10   This allows you to move to a new location between executing repeats,   without recording those movement actions.   Once you have performed enough actions without executing a repeat, action   storage will be re-enabled, and the ignored actions will be added to the   history as one large entry.  Although g:RepeatLast_Stop_Ignoring_On_Edit   prevents this recovery. Reading this rest of this file:   You may like to try  :FoldNicely == Limitations == It uses macro recording ALL THE TIME.  The word "recording" will forever be displayed in your command-line, hiding any messages usually displayed there by Vim's echo.  To make those hidden messages visible, you will need to:   :set cmdheight=2    or more Because recording is enabled, for commands like `q:` and `q/` you will need to press an extra `q` beforehand, and they will not be recorded in history. If you want to record your own macro, you can disable the plugin with :RepeatLastDisable (or you could try just pressing 'q' for a one-time disable). CursorHold events do not fire in macro-recording mode.  Any visual tools, taglist updates, etc. that require CursorHold *will not be triggered*. Other events such as CursorMove, InsertLeave, BufWritePost work fine. The new option RepeatLast_TriggerCursorHold can now be used to force trigger of CursorHold events.  It may not be ideal, but mostly works ok. == Disadvantages == Movements j and k will not return to the original column after passing through shorter lines.  (This is only a problem when using RepeatLast_TriggerCursorHold.) Use of some <Tab>-completion plugins may produce unexpected behaviour when replaying actions including a <Tab>-completion.  (Although Vim's built-in '.' does not suffer from this.)
