I couldn't believe the lack of support for the dot command in vi emulation in Xcode. Emulation is quite complete, mostly missing regex and ex command support (but even a vi mode that way it's still very usable), but without the key component that is dot command repetition, the whole vi/vim experience is ruined. There must have been some heated conversation at Apple, someone who knows and cares about vi/vim poured a ton of love into getting that right, and they must have felt the pain of not including dot command support.
Just hoping they will address that in a future version of Xcode.
- nsb1 4y agoThe dot command is always what seems lacking in the various emulation layers. Either it doesn't work at all, or doesn't work the way you expect. As a dot command addict, this makes me sad.
