linux - How to repeat VIM surround with HTML tag on Visual mode -

according tim pope, can following:

finally, let's try out visual mode.  press capital v (for linewise visual mode) followed s<p class="important">.

and this

<p class="important">   <em>hello</em> world! </p>

i tried , works. how can repeat command on many other visual blocks? tried . didn't work.

update:

with text:

foo foo foo

i tried qqgvs<p class="important">q. correctly gives

<p class="important"> foo </p> foo foo

but when repeat @q (with cursor on f letter of second row) gives this:

<p> <p class="important"> foo </p> </p> foo foo

instead of

<p class="important"> foo </p> <p class="important"> foo </p> foo

what's right way it?

you can't; repeat.vim plugin handles repetition normal mode. i've written companion visualrepeat plugin, surround.vim doesn't support that.

for built-in commands, execute on visual selection via gv:normal .<cr>, doesn't work here, neither.

the option see recording macro, , executing on each previous selection (via use of gv).
