Tip 31: Repeat the Last Ex Command

Return to the top: <>

• `.`: repeat the most recent Normal mode command
• `@:`: repeat the last Ex command

References:

• `:` register always holds the most recently executed command line.
• After running `@:` for the first time, we can subsequently repeat it with the `@@` command.

References:

Example: iterating through items in the buffer list with `:bn[ext]` or `:bp[revious]`.

• use `@:` for repeating
• use `` for revering (also works for `:next`/`:cnext`/`:tnext`)
