[ale] VI

[J.M. Taylor]

If you don't want to create a macro, do
esc
i
 
esc

then move your cursor to where you want the next &nbsp to appear and hit
the . (dot) key. You do not have to hit i or a before the ., it will do
like a mini-macro and get every keystroke between the esc's.  Remember to
put your cursor where you would for a normal insert or you'll get a lot of
&nbs p; type junk.  you can of course use 'a' instead of 'i', same
laws apply about positioning your cursor.
