feat: Repeat last command
hovsater opened this issue · 3 comments
Feel free to close this if this behavior already exist and I've just missed it. Whenever I use M-' and M-; I tend to want to repeat that command one or more times. E.g., "move forward until the third dot" or "move backwards until the fourth comma". Right now, I achieve this by repeating M-' . three times and and M-; , four times.
Coming from Vim, you can repeat the last command by simply pressing .. Something similar would be really handy in mle as well.
Thoughts?
Just a friendly ping @adsr. 🙂 Would you be interested in adding this behaviour as a default or do you feel it's in extension territory?
Added in eb37d13.
For a future improvement, it would be nice if cmd_repeat was smart enough to re-use any prompts from the previous command if any existed, or (easier / hackier) to specifically convert cmd_search to cmd_search_next and cmd_replace to cmd_replace_next.
Boom! Thank you for that! 🎉 I'm in the midst of learning C, as I become more familiar with the language I fully intend to experiment with mle source myself. Hopefully I can contribute with code at some point. 🙂
