Let's say that I'm in visual mode, and I type "aw" to extend the visual area to include the next word. I'd like to then include the next couple of words. Is there a single key that I can press to repeat the previous motion (include text object motions)?
I'm aware that '.' repeats the previous change, and 'n' repeats the previous search, amongst other 'repeat' commands, but I'm unaware of any command to repeat the previous motion (whatever it was).
