Feedback appreciated. Patches attached.
Thanks for your patches! The reason why action_prev was only overwritten in vis_mode_insert_input is that entering insert mode and then leaving it without having made a change, should keep the . command working. The whole repeating implementation probably needs a overhaul. A redesign should also consider howto implement macro support. Then the . command would simply replay a short macro.

Keeping track of the keystrokes makes the implementation somewhat uglier/harder but is probably necessary to provide certain features. -- Marc André Tanner >< http://www.brain-dump.org/ >< GPG key: CF7D56C0
