# Repeating Characters
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's not common to need to type 39 space characters in a row, but when the
|
||||||
|
moment arises, you don't want to be caught hitting the space bar 39 times.
|
||||||
|
Vim makes it easy. From normal mode, type the number, then `i`, and then the
|
||||||
|
character to be repeated followed by an escape.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For instance, for 39 spaces, hit:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
39i <esc>
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
or for 80 dashes, hit:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
80i-<esc>
|
||||||
|
```
