 Why? Because all of those commands actually have different prompts. Sure `#` being all about listing lines, the only reasonable prompt is a colon, but `:ls` lists buffers so the right prompt is `:b`, `:changes` lists entries in the change list so the right prompt is `:norm! g;`, and so on. Don't panic! We only have to add a bunch of conditions to our test. That's all.

 # Generalizing
 
+Sure, streamlining that boring (but mighty) `:g/foo/#<CR>:17<CR>` was quite an achievement but we learned a lot of similar list-like commands in the meantime: `:ls`, `:changes`, `:ilist` and so on. What if we could add an automatic prompt for *all of them*?
+
+Well, we already have a solid foundation, so let's augment it a bit:
+
+    function! CCR()
+        let cmdline = getcmdline()
+        if cmdline =~ '\v\C/(#|nu|num|numb|numbe|number)$'
+            return "\<CR>:"
+        elseif cmdline =~ '\v\C^(ls|files|buffers|dli|il|cli|lli|old|changes|ju|marks|undol)'
+            return "\<CR>:"
+        else
+            return "\<CR>"
+        endif
+    endfunction
+
+This seems to work: pressing `<CR>` after any of those commands executes the command *and* populates the command-line with a prompt. Another achievement unloc… Wait! Wait! Wait! Nope. That's acually a super dumb way to treat our "problem"!
+
+Why? Because all of those commands actually have different prompts. Sure `#` being all about listing lines, the only reasonable prompt is a colon, but `:ls` lists buffers so the right prompt is `:b`, `:changes` lists entries in the change list so the right prompt is `:norm! g;`, and so on. Don't panic! We only have to add a bunch of conditions to our test. That's all.
+
+Hmm… and figure out the right prompt for each command. I'll save you the details (or detail them if you want) and go straight to the result:

+Basically, that mapping and its associated function don't really change anything fundamental. We still use `:ilist` or `:oldfiles` as we used to, **but we don't have to type a different prompt for every command anymore.** All we did was reducing friction and have a lot of fun in the process.

 The first search commands you learn are usually `/` and `?`. These are seriously cool, especially with the `incsearch` option enabled which lets us keep typing to refine our search pattern.
