#### 1.4.5 Counts

Some Vi commands which do not accept a count now accept one

`p`
`P`

  Given counts, text will be yanked (in Vi’s sense) that many times. Thus `3 p` is the same as `p p p`.

`o`
`O`

  Given counts, that many copies of text will be inserted. Thus `o a b c ESC` will insert 3 lines of ‘`abc`’ below the current line.

`/`
`?`

  Given a count n, n-th occurrence will be searched.
