Is there a vim command to replace something (a word, an inner object, a motion, etc) by a character but as many time as there are character to replace.
Exemple:
The cursor is at the beginning of the word foo
I want X and replace foo by XXX.
(I don’t want to have to count the number of letter, so 3rX is not a valid answer)
I don’t want a script or a mapping, I just want to know if there is already a command to achieve that.
I think this works:
verX
Of course the ‘e’ could be a different movement command.
