    Will this scheme allow vim-like regex replacements, like:

Good question.

Basically every (reasonable) thing that could be part of the dot command must be supported.

I'm not sure whether colon commands can be composed via dot, but surely some form of search and replace must be composable using dot.

A possible cute trick: in vim mode Leo's minibuffer search/replace commands could set up the environment in the same way as s/a/b/(g).

Looks like dot does not repeat command mode commands. It apparently repeats "the last change in /normal/ mode". Colon commands are /command/ mode.

The key combo @: (at-colon) repeats the last colon command.  TIL!

But still, if a vim mode is to succeed, it needs colon->minibuffer and vim-style search/replace wrappers.
