It repeats even the last cursor movement. Vim will repeat the last text insertion/delete etc. For example, if you wanted to place the character K at specific points in a file, in vim, move to point, press . But with emacs the C-x z will repeat the cursor movement after you placed the first K. Something else....this works only in the gui version for me. But I always use emacs -nw C-x z suspends my terminal. From what I can tell in the gui version C-x z runs the command "repeat" If I try M-x repeat from emacs -nw I get: Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil -- Angelina Carlton
