Tip: #69 - Dot makes life easier

Created: May 30, 2001 3:13 Complexity: basic Author: Erhan Version: 5.7 Karma: 57/33 Imported from: Tip#69

You can copy and paste the last changes you made in the last insert mode

without using y and p by pressing . (just dot).

Vim memorizes the keys you pressed and echos them if you hit the dot key.

You must be in command mode as usual.

It can be helpful...

Comments

You can also repeat the last command you write by pressing dot. So, it makes it easier to repeat 2-3 character long commands.
