How can I repeat the last VIM macro?

Question

I know how to repeat the last command in Vim. I use ..

But how can I repeat the last macro? It's a little non-comfortable to press @q everytime I want to repeat it.

I tried with . but it just repeats the last command from the macro.

Is there a shorter way of doing that?

@Willmert Thanks! Useful information. – Ruttish

It may be helpful to know that it is possible to do 3@q if you would simply chain the macros - i.e. if you would otherwise type @q@q@q. – Discriminatory

Answer 1

Yes, you can use @@ to replay the last used macro.

As a bonus, use @: to replay the last ex command. (And then that becomes the "last used macro" that can be repeated with @@.)

Answer 2

I find @@ a bit hard to type and as I don't use , much - and it's close enough to .:

:map , @@
