There’s also the `;`, which repeats the last movement! So if you did `dft` and didn’t see the extra “t” in the way in the first place, you can then just do `d;`. It’s like `.` but for movement!

I think that’s right anyway, no vim terminal at hand to check myself.

Wouldn't just `.` do the same as `d;` in that case?

Not always, the ";" sets the repetition-count of the operation to 1.

You can type "d2;" however.

Oh great, I’ll finally have to remove my remap of ‘; = :’ never did I investigate to know what I was opting out of.

Not worth it. That remap has saved me more keystrokes than I can reasonably count. But adding the opposite remap for good measure isn't the worst idea.
