I see :) , let me rephrase: My problem isn't much the number of
keystrokes, but an ability to repeat a simple command a certain number
of times, just like C-x RET c <charset> RET <command>. Defining a macro
for such a thing just seems to be an overkill.

Not if I bind it to F12, and Viper seems to deserve that ;) .

Thanks, this works for one line. However, I needed several lines.

Yes, why?
