" Provides <count>\. to repeat the last group of actions you performed. " " The '.' key is fantastic at 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\. " == Usage == " " Assuming your mapleader is backslash (the default): " "   \?   Display a list of recently recorded actions " "   4\?  Display the last four recorded actions " "   4\.  Repeat the last four actions " "   \.   Repeat the last action (similar to . but may replay just a movement) " "   \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 disable recording of the next few actions. " " Commands are also available for the main shortcuts above: " "   :ShowRecent   :RepeatLast   :DropLast   :PauseRecording " " Commands to toggle state at runtime: " "   :RepeatLastOn    Disables action recording, leaves macro record mode. " "   :RepeatLastOff   Enables action recording, enters macro record mode. " "   :RepeatLast<Tab>  or  :RepeatLast<Ctrl-D>   More commands, to toggle info. " " New feature - Auto Ignoring: " "   After executing a repeat action, action storage will be *temporarily "   disabled* for the number of actions specified in: " "     g:RepeatLast_Ignore_After_Use_For " "   This allows you to move to a new location between executing repeats, "   without recording those movement actions.  (Movement actions in the "   *original* executed repeat remain in history so can still be repeated.) " "   Action storage can also be temporarily disabled with \| or \# " "   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. " == 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 " " (This is preferable to adding frequent calls to sleep, which pause Vim long " enough to show messages, but can slow down / lock up Vim when we are " pressing a lot of keys.) " " If you want to record your own macro, you can disable the plugin with " :RepeatLastOff (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.
