> The only draw back is that f does not have any repeat shortcut like n for next or . for reapply, those do nothing for f.

Boy, do I have news for you :) ; will repeat an f/t/F/T motion forwards, and , will move back. Having it separate from n/N means that they have a separate history and you can combine them to repeat motions.

Also, if you’re not bound to using Vim without plugins, then the CleverF plugin lets you repeat with f/F instead of ;/,

It’s IMO easier to hit f again than to reach for the semicolon, and moreover this frees ; and , for usage in your own mappings (e.g. leader and localleader)
