That is intentional behavior and has been that way (nearly) forever. It
is configured via the command definition macro on a per-command basis.
"Dangerous" commands do *not* repeat, commands that may be useful to
repeat (e.g. displaying memory) do.
Hey, you were just complaining that you had to retype the IP address for
repeated pings - now you are complaining that you don't have to type
anything to repeat a command. Make up you mind if you want shortcuts or
not! :-P
Best regards,
