Hi,
this happened to me today. I had a line like this one

I thought I could do it by combining 'g' and 'r' as I understood 'g' is good to
repeat the same command over all chars in a line (like guu or gUU).
However, I was not able to make it work.
I ended up doing something like :.s/=/-/g
Is not really possible to replace all chars in the current line with a
combination of 'g' and 'r' commands?
Using g,
:s/./-/g
Using r,
0v$r-
Or did you mean something else?

In this particular case (no leading indent),
I think Vr- is the easiest command, much easier
than :s. Incidentally, I have a visual mode
mapping to select only the text in current line
and it's often very useful, and I'd use it in
this case if the line was indented.
