I use the . (dot) command a lot out of habit. It executes the last command. If the last command was a macro execution, dot doesn't execute the macro - it executes the last command of the macro. Is there a way to fix this?

edit I see someone else answered this - use @@ instead of .

Yep, and you can just hold down @ to blaze through many lines. If you overshoot, just undo a bit.
