Holy crap I finally found out, and I don't need a mapping. `Vim` has the `&` command which just repeats the last substitution. The same way as `.` repeats the last command, I can move to the next `true` and simply hit `&` which will apply again the last substitution...Neat and simple. I finally found out by googling vi repeat last substitution which yielded as first result https://stackoverflow.com/questions/382155/how-to-repeat-a-command-with-substitution-in-vim#:~:text=You%20simply%20hit%20the%20.,hit%20.%20to%20do%20it%20again. Apologies.
