That's true if your edit is a single vim command, but if you're executing a few different ones at each location, . will only repeat the last. Hm, it strikes me

That's true if your edit is a single vim command, but if you're executing a few different ones at each location, . will only repeat the last. Hm, it strikes me that it might be a cool feature to interactively select as many of the last few commands you gave as you like, and copy them to a macro register. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to implement, seeing as the commands you make are already stored in the undo tree.
