Description
The first thing that made me have a happy grin on my face when using vim as text edior was when I learned about the vim dot repeat function. It was the first experience of how one can simply automate tedious, linear and repetetive tasks with a single key.
As years have passed since, I hereby kindly request to review request #1785 with the goal of implementing a way to repeat the last action taken using vimium.
This is quite powerful for things like going one tab left ( or previousTab).
If you want to do that multiple times you could just go on tab left once and then easily navigate through your tabs while just pressing the dot key ..

Research direction
Start by reading request #1785, which this issue asks to revisit; no source file, test, or entry point is named here. Define how Vimium should record and repeat the last action, including commands such as previousTab, and consider the behavior complete when pressing . reliably repeats that action across tabs.
