To repeat the last command, "." can be used.
The vi editor (and probably vim and gvim) supports
according to "man vi":
[Vi]i[sual][!] [+cmd] [file]
Vi mode only. Edit a new file.
Is this what you're searching for?
Or do you refer to command lines where "@:" would repeat the
last command (started with ":")?
