What do you mean by "command"? Many (most?) of BBEdit's actions require user
input before they can be completed.
One possible answer is: what happens when you type "." in Vim, which I
believe really does mean "repeat last command," so you can play around
with it for a minute or two to see the effects. If the last thing was to
delete the word the cursor is on, it does that. If it was to delete a
line, it does that. If it was to insert the phrase "lorem ipsum blah
blah blah," it does that. If it was to append the phrase "lorem ipsum
blah blah blah" to the end of the current line, it does that.
Some of those tricks -- particularly the differentiation between "insert
this text phrase here" and "insert this text phrase at the end of the
current line" -- would probably be difficult to do without a modal
editor, of course, and I'm not entirely sure *any* of it would be that
easy to do without a modal editor. I know personally, I'd put some of
the wackier multi-line editing tricks I've seen in other editors on my
wish list way ahead of that one. :)
