I'm still getting used to emacs, and overall i love it.  But here are a few
commands i loved in vi that i haven't yet discovered emacs analogues for.

I will often use 'cw' in vi to change a word (usually a variable name,
constant, etc) and then go to another word i want to change as well.  In vi
i can just use '.' to do this.  Is there a similar way to 'change-word' then
'repeat-operation' in emacs, besides search-and-replace'?
