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
• unimpaired.vim
• vim-easyclip
• vim-radical

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)

Fork

This fork changes two things:

• It disables the default maps for u, U, & ctrl+r. To restore them use:

nmap u <Plug>(RepeatUndo)
nmap U <Plug>(RepeatUndoLine)
nmap <C-R> <Plug>(RepeatRedo)

• It adds a optional wrapper that supports remapping so that you can use other functions together with this:

    nnoremap <silent> u     :<C-U>call repeat#wrapMod("\<Plug>(highlightedundo-undo)",v:count)<CR>

This is mainly useful when you want to chain u, U, & ctrl+r together with other plugins and vim-repeat without breaking vim-repeat. For other use cases repeat#set() should be sufficient.

Installation

Install using your favorite package manager, or use Vim's built-in package support:

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
cd ~/.vim/pack/tpope/start
git clone https://tpope.io/vim/repeat.git
