1.4.5 Counts
------------
Some Vi commands which do not accept a count now accept one
‘p’
‘P’
Given counts, text will be yanked (in Vi’s sense) that many times.
Thus ‘3 p’ is the same as ‘p p p’.
‘o’
‘O’
Given counts, that many copies of text will be inserted. Thus ‘o a
b c <ESC>’ will insert 3 lines of ‘abc’ below the current line.
‘/’
‘?’
Given a count N, N-th occurrence will be searched.
