Repeat last yank












6















I'm appending text to "a" register with:"AyW.

If I wanted to repeat last change I would use:. But in this case I would like to repeat the last yank command.

Is there a command to repeat the last yank (append)? or should I use q to record a macro instead?

          If you include the flag y in the cpoptions option;



          set cpoptions+=y


          then yanks may be repeated using .. See :help cpo-y:



                                      *cpo-y*
          y A yank command can be redone with ".".
