keyboard macros are a more powerful version of the dot command.

Start recording, do anything you want, and stop recording.  When you
play back the macro, it reruns the keystrokes,

They can of course include insert and delete and cursor movement, but
also cut and paste, transpose, case changes, searching, saving a file,
editing a file, go to next instance of a grep list, etc.

For me, keyboard macros are what makes emacs #1.
