Description Stephen Jahns CLA 2013-12-04 14:17:14 EST 
examples:

Insert 'hello', after escaping to normal mode, hitting '.' should insert 'hello' at the current caret position.

Change the next word to 'hello with 'cwhello', after escaping to normal mode, hitting '.' should replace the next word at the current caret position with 'hello.

Closely related: prefix number should repeat text edits, eg '3ihello' should insert 'hellohellohello', '3Ahello' should append 'hellohellohello' to the end of the current line, etc.

I have an implementation here - https://github.com/stjahns/orion.client/commit/aa6ce7ae6e77cfc82c409c6d6898041f3039aaa5

This feature will need to be revisited once text range ops, visual mode, and replace modes are in. (they are still pending review)

I am looking into this.
