To repeat a command-line command, try `@:`, To repeat a normal/insert-mode command, try `.`,

Add below mapping to your .vimrc if you want to shortcut the same:-

`:noremap &lt;C-P&gt; @:&lt;CR&gt;` - This will map Ctrl+P to previous command-line command. You can map any other combo.



`:help repeating` will provide the typical repeat commands (like ., @:, etc.). You could try [repeat.vim][1]. That may get you closer to what you are looking for.

For motion commands there is no mechanism built into Vim.  The Find and To commands (`f`/`F`/`t`/`T`) have `;` and `,` to repeat and reverse.  There are a couple of plugins which extend those bindings to repeat other motion commands:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2174

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3665

The later should support repeating `gE` using `;`

You can just use &quot;.&quot;

Example: 
You have &quot;abc&quot; at 10 places in your file and you want to replace it with &quot;def&quot; at 5 places of it.

Step 1: Find first occurance of abc by typing command &quot;/abc&quot; &lt;br&gt;
Step 2: Once cursor is on &quot;abc&quot;, Replace abc by command &quot;cw&quot; to take out word &quot;abc&quot;
&lt;br&gt;Step 3: Type in &quot;def&quot; as replacement and press enter to go to command mode
&lt;br&gt; Step 4: To repeat this action just type command &quot;n&quot; to go to next occurrence of abc **and type command &quot;.&quot;** . **The command remembers that you replaced &quot;abc&quot; with &quot;def&quot; last time and will perform the same here.**

You can map `@:` to some key for more convenience:

    :map &lt;F2&gt; @:

and then it&#39;s easier to use it with repeats.

I&#39;m not sure why i&#39;m getting this error to be honest.

    private int hour
    {
        get;
        set
        {
            //make sure hour is positive
            if (value &lt; MIN_HOUR)
            {
                hour = 0;
                MessageBox.Show(&quot;Hour value &quot; + value.ToString() + &quot; cannot be negative. Reset to &quot; + MIN_HOUR.ToString(),
                        &quot;Invalid Hour&quot;, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
            }
            else
            {
                //take the modulus to ensure always less than 24 hours
                //works even if the value is already within range, or value equal to 24
                hour = value % MAX_HOUR;
            }
        }
    }

I&#39;ve also tried just doing an actual property:

    public int hour 
    { 
        get; 
        set
        {
            //make sure hour is positive
            if (value &lt; MIN_HOUR)
            {
                hour = 0;
                MessageBox.Show(&quot;Hour value &quot; + value.ToString() + &quot; cannot be negative. Reset to &quot; + MIN_HOUR.ToString(),
                        &quot;Invalid Hour&quot;, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
            }
            else
            {
                //take the modulus to ensure always less than 24 hours
                //works even if the value is already within range, or value equal to 24
                hour = value % MAX_HOUR;
            }
        } 
    }


Suggestions?

C# &quot;must declare a body because it is not marked abstract, extern, or partial&quot;

I have a struct

    typedef struct {
        int hour;
        int min;
        int sec;
    } counter_t;

And in the code, I&#39;d like to initialize instances of this struct without explicitly initializing each member variable. That is, I&#39;d like to do something like:

    counter_t counter;
    counter = {10,30,47}; //doesn&#39;t work

for 10:30:47


rather than

    counter.hour = 10;
    counter.min = 30;
    counter.sec = 47;

Don&#39;t recall syntax for this, and didn&#39;t immediately find a way to do this from Googling.

Thanks!

In Vim, is there any way to repeat the last command regardless of whether it was an edit or not, and without having the foresight to first record a macro?

E.g. say I type `:bn`, and want to do it again (it was the wrong file). Pressing `.` obviously doesn&#39;t do it. Or maybe I&#39;m doing `gE` and want to repeat that (with one keystroke since clearly `gE` is kinda painful to type).

Perhaps there are some plugins? Similar to [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3671019/repeating-a-navigation-command-in-vi).

(Even cooler would be to retroactively bind a number of commands to a macro, so one could type `5qa@a` or something to repeat the last 5 commands...)

I am using the Ack plugin in Vim, which helps me to quickly search for strings in my project. However, sometimes I want to replace all or some occurrences of the found strings. You can do some kind of global search and replace using the Vim arglist like this ([source](http://www.ibrahim-ahmed.com/2008/01/find-and-replace-in-multiple-files-in.html))
:

    :args app/views/*/*
    :argdo %s/, :expire.*)/)/ge | update

But instead of using `args`, I would prefer to do a search via Ack and then do the replace in all files that have been found. Is there a way to do it similar to the `argdo` command?

How to do search &amp; replace with ack in vim?

I&#39;m looking for the best way to do search-and-replace (with confirmation) across all project files in Vim. By &quot;project files&quot; I mean files in the current directory, some of which do not have to be open.

One way to do this could be to simply open all of the files in the current directory:

    :args ./**

and then do the search and replace on all open files:

    :argdo %s/Search/Replace/gce

However, when I do this, Vim&#39;s memory usage jumps from a couple dozen of MB to over 2 GB, which doesn&#39;t work for me.

I also have the [EasyGrep][1] plugin installed, but it almost never works&amp;mdash;either it doesn&#39;t find all the occurrences, or it just hangs until I press &lt;kbd&gt;Ctrl&lt;/kbd&gt;&lt;kbd&gt;C&lt;/kbd&gt;. So far my preferred way to accomplish this task it to [ack-grep][2] for the search term, using it&#39;s quickfix window open any file that contains the term and was not opened before, and finally `:bufdo %s/Search/Replace/gce`.

I&#39;m looking either for a good, working plugin that can be used for this, or alternatively a command/sequence of commands that would be easier than the one I&#39;m using now.

I was wondering if there&#39;s a way to return to the previous line you were on in Vim.

Say, for example, I&#39;m writing C code and I just wanted to add an `#include` at the top of the page: I press `gg` and go to the top, add the `#include`, and then I want to return to the line I left off of.

Is this possible in Vim?

What is the difference between commands and events in architectures that emphasize events? The only distinction I can see is that commands are usually sourced/invoked by actors outside the system, whereas events seem to be sourced by handlers and other code in a system. However, in many example applications I have seen, they have different (but functionally similar) interfaces.

Why are commands and events separately represented?

I have a script and want to ask the user for some information, but the script cannot continue until the user fills in this information. The following is my attempt at putting a command into a loop to achieve this but it doesn&#39;t work for some reason:

```shell
echo &quot;Please change password&quot;
while passwd
do
    echo &quot;Try again&quot;
done
```

I have tried many variations of the while loop:

```shell
while `passwd`
while [[ &quot;`passwd`&quot; -gt 0 ]]
while [ `passwd` -ne 0 ]]
# ... And much more
```

But I can&#39;t seem to get it to work.

When I try to run Zipalign on an apk I get the error `&quot;Command not found&quot;`  

I am not that familiar with using terminal commands on the MAC but I have navigated to the SDK/Tools folder and run the following command:

    zipalign -v 4 Project1.apk Project1-aligned.apk

I get Command not found

I have tried placing the apks in the Tools folder and same result.

Can someone help me to understand where the apks should be located and where I should run zipalign from?  

Thanks, I am very frustrated about this as it seems so simple.

I need a sequence of repeated numbers, i.e. `1 1 ... 1 2 2 ... 2 3 3 ... 3 etc.` The way I implemented this was:

      nyear &lt;- 20
      names &lt;- c(rep(1,nyear),rep(2,nyear),rep(3,nyear),rep(4,nyear),
                 rep(5,nyear),rep(6,nyear),rep(7,nyear),rep(8,nyear))

which works, but is clumsy, and obviously doesn&#39;t scale well.

**How do I repeat the N integers M times each in sequence?**

 - I tried nesting `seq()` and `rep()` but that didn&#39;t quite do what I wanted.
 - I can obviously write a for-loop to do this, but there should be an intrinsic way to do this!

Create sequence of repeated values, in sequence?

I often navigate in vim by `f x` to find next occurrence of character &#39;x&#39;,
but overlook that there is a word (or more words) containing &#39;x&#39; in between the word I want to edit and the beginning cursor position.

So i have to `f x` again, which is kind of annoying since there is this nice button `.`, which does repeat the last command. So is there a way to repeat `f x` with a single button press.

vim repeat find next character &#39;x&#39;

I want to repeat the rows of a data.frame, each `N` times. The result should be a new `data.frame` (with `nrow(new.df) == nrow(old.df) * N`) keeping the data types of the columns.

Example for N = 2:

                            A B   C
      A B   C             1 j i 100
    1 j i 100     --&gt;     2 j i 100
    2 K P 101             3 K P 101
                          4 K P 101

So, each row is repeated 2 times and characters remain characters, factors remain factors, numerics remain numerics, ...

My first attempt used apply: `apply(old.df, 2, function(co) rep(co, each = N))`, but this one transforms my values to characters and I get:

         A   B   C    
    [1,] &quot;j&quot; &quot;i&quot; &quot;100&quot;
    [2,] &quot;j&quot; &quot;i&quot; &quot;100&quot;
    [3,] &quot;K&quot; &quot;P&quot; &quot;101&quot;
    [4,] &quot;K&quot; &quot;P&quot; &quot;101&quot;

Repeat rows of a data.frame

In Python, where `[2]` is a list, the following code gives this output:

&lt;!-- language: lang-python --&gt;

    [2] * 5 # Outputs: [2,2,2,2,2]

Does there exist an easy way to do this with an array in JavaScript?

I wrote the following function to do it, but is there something shorter or better?

    var repeatelem = function(elem, n){
	    // returns an array with element elem repeated n times.
	    var arr = [];
	    
        for (var i = 0; i &lt;= n; i++) {
	        arr = arr.concat(elem);
	    };
        
	    return arr;
	};

Create an array with same element repeated multiple times

In Ruby I could repeat a String n times with the following: 

E.G. `&quot;my_string&quot; * 2 -&gt; &quot;my_stringmy_string&quot;`

Is there an equally simple way for doing this in R?
