Let's say I'd like to indent the current line 4 times. (Not 4 spaces, 4 indent commands). As far as I can tell, the shortest way to do this is>>...(Indent once, repeat three times) This seems really inefficient to me. I'd rather do something like this:4>>But instead of repeatedly indenting the current line, this indents the next 4 lines 1 time. In my mind, this is a total waste, because if the count before the operator was indent level, and the count after is for a repeated motion, this doesn't lose any ability. If I wanted to indent the next four lines one time, I could just do>4>or even >3jIf the first count were to work this way, you could even do a command like this:2>4>And this would mean Two times, indent the following four lines. Instead it means One time, indent eight lines.Can I configure vim to behave this way?
Can I make the indent commands take an additional count that doesn't affect the motion?
