To repeat the last change you made to a file

  1. Place the cursor where you want to repeat the last edit.
  2. Choose Edit > Repeat Last Edit.

You can repeat only certain types of edits. For example, if you just selected text and then replaced it with new text, then repeating the last edit will delete a similar selection contiguous to the cursor and insert the new text. Suppose you file contains the text:

The albatross said it was 8:09, and everyone cheered.

If you select the word everyone and type rainbow, your text becomes:

The albatross said it was 8:09, and rainbow cheered.

If you move the cursor to the beginning of the word albatross (you do not have to highlight the word) and choose Edit > Repeat Last Edit, the text becomes:

The rainbow said it was 8:09, and rainbow cheered.
