Here is a patch to Vim that adds a , register which is basically access to Vim's internal 'redo buffer' used when '.' is used. At a quick look, it seems to work. You can thus save your '.' commands to another register and replay them later: :let @a=@, @a I believe @, will have pretty much the same functionality as . except that it won't automatically change the count or the register number like . does (nor will this happen if you save to another register, of course). I wonder what Bram thinks about including this functionality in standard Vim? I think it would be useful. What do others think? Also, I haven't tested much. Testing and consequent feedback from others would be worthwhile. There may be issues with things not being escaped which should be, etc. Ben.
