I'm trying to understand why insertion aren't repeatable. Is there something I missed?

[tenfyzhong]

. works in normal mode only.

[ErikLambrechts]

ok, but the "problem" I had was that the insert was not repeatable a whole.
supose i have a method signature method(arg1, arg2)
and I want to insert the following line
method(foo, bar);
I use ctrl-j to jump to the next argument to the end of the line, where I insert ;
Af this, . only repeats the insertion of ';'

[tenfyzhong]

What do you expect to insert?

[ErikLambrechts]

everything I did between entering and leaving insert mode. So the line,

method(foo, bar);

[tenfyzhong]

It's difficult to insert the hold things after parameter completed, the plugin has exist insert mode.
