The proposed "action history table" allows to repeat previous actions, so it is 
an extension of the 'dot'-key with deeper and persistent history.  This is not 
about 'undo' and 'redo'.

This feature request is related to the RepeatLast.vim [1]plugin, and these two 
StackOverflow threads [2, 3].

Since we already have a number of history tables, would it not be easy to add a 
table for "action history"?  There are application that benefit from a deeper 
and/or persistent history.

Thanks, Daan
