While the motions f/F and t/T can be repeated with , and ; the default key mapping is not only unintuitive it also requires the user to remember in what direction s/he moved with the previous f/t motion. This nuisance brought me to rethink the idea of repeatable motions and resulted in this plugin. repeatable-motions.vim makes most default motions repeatable in an easy and intuitive way. Perform a motion once (such as f) and repeat it simply with <C-h> to the left and <C-l> to the right. The direction is always what you'd expect, no more remembering if you used f or F. Additionally repeatable-motions.vim distinguishes between vertical and horizontal motions. So [M can be repeated with <C-j> and <C-k> while still remembering your previous horizontal movement. Motions that are being repeated behave like normal motions, support counts and can be used in operation-pending as well as visual-mode. Everything works out of the box and making your own motion repeatable is as easy as calling AddRepeatableMotion("<Up>", "<Down>", 1). Buffer-, expression- and custom mappings are all handled without further ado.

install details

Extract into ~/.vim Run :helptags ~/.vim/doc in vim Or use a plugin manager (Vundle, Pathogen, vim-addon-manager) If you want to change the default key mappings to repeat motions see :help repeatable-motions-mapping.
