how to use vim's build in history (re run re play commands) by line number

prepare:

<span style="color: #00ffff;">
echo "com -nargs=1 HI exe histget('c', )" >> ~/.vimrc</span>

then start vim and type to show the history (commands last typed):

[ESC]
<span style="color: #00ffff;">:history</span>
# or short
<span style="color: #00ffff;">:his
</span>

now to re run the command #LineNumber 29, type:

<span style="color: #00ffff;">:HI 29
