Very short plugin which assigns the z register to a function. This function takes user input from the command line and performs this sequence of actions, simple enough.
Either add to rtp:
let &runtimepath.=",/path/to/at-zed/root/dir/"
Or install with your favourite plugin manager:
Plug 'BodneyC/AtZed-vim', { 'branch': 'master' }
Use z register (configurable) as normal, input normal mode commands, commands will happen.
For example, given a blank buffer:
5@zAlemon <CR>
, will yield:
lemon lemon lemon lemon lemon
Not much, it does save a key stroke or two compared to:
qwAlemon q4@w
And if you know you want five "lemon"s, it's easier to focus on the number five (in my opinion).
Motivation can be found in the docs doc/at-z.txt, found via h at-zed.
