I need to repeat the delete of matching lines in vscode-vim. Unfortunately the g has not been implemented yet, so I'm trying to figure out a way to repeat the same change in command-line mode using repetitions.

The following

20/pattern/d

will print a Traling characters error.

  • Welcome to Vi and Vim! Are you saying that :g/pattern/d will not work in vscode-vim? Is that the command you're trying to execute that seems to not be implemented?

  • See also "Neovim Integration" under vscode-vim readme. It seems to extend vscode-vim to support :g, :normal, etc.

  • You might also want to look into vscode-neovim instead of vscode-vim, see this article which talks about it and explores the differences between them: galenwong.github.io/blog/2021-03-22-vscode-neovim-vs-vscodevim

After running a command :/pattern/delete, the : register can be used to re-run the command like @:, which also takes a count (so 999@: works). After the first use of @:, you can use @@ (unless you execute another register in between, since @@ always uses the last-executed register). With high counts this can simulate the effect of :global and more besides.
