A user in a Telegram group dedicated to VIM showed me a very good solution:

:nnoremap <leader>. :normal .<cr>

this remaps .<leader>. to allow a prefix with repeat count. In my case is mapped to the default value \ So I just type say 10\. and it repeats cgn 10 times.

It even works in Eclipse's Vrapper.

But if anyone has a better solution I'd like to hear.
