In its normal mode, `.` repeats your last change.\n\nA number typed before `.` is now passed along to the repeat, so something like `3.` repeats the last change with a count of 3. Before, `.` ignored any count.\n\n**Why**\n\nCombining a count with `.` is standard vim behaviour that was missing, so muscle memory from vim now works here too.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
