This is too rough.

I want a tool that can at least take consideration of copy and paste
(e.g. 'yy' and 'p'). Or better, given a set of commonly used vim
editing commands, to find the optimal number of keystrokes that are
needed to achieve the final result. Essentially, I want to evaluate
how much time it is need to edit a given file by a human being.
