repeat.vim

If you've ever tried using the . command after a plugin map, you were likely disappointed to discover it only repeated the last native command inside that map, rather than the map as a whole. That disappointment ends today. Repeat.vim remaps . in a way that plugins can tap into it.

The following plugins support repeat.vim:

• surround.vim
• speeddating.vim
• abolish.vim
• unimpaired.vim
• commentary.vim

Adding support to a plugin is generally as simple as the following command at the end of your map functions.

silent! call repeat#set("\<Plug>MyWonderfulMap", v:count)

Installation

If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend installing pathogen.vim, and then simply copy and paste:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat.git
