You want to read about keyboard macros.  IMHO, this single feature 
distinguishes emacs from any other editor.

With keyboard macros, you save and then replay any key sequence, which 
can include insert and delete, but also search, edit and save, stepping 
through errors, cut and paste, etc.  It's far more powerful than the vi dot.
