Repeat last yank












2














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
