Create Mappings That Take A Count in Neovim

Many normal mode commands accept a count, which means to repeat the motion count times. For example, 3j moves the cursor 3 lines below the current line and 4w will move the cursor four words forward. Usually, the user-defined mappings can not take a count. Even if they can, they will most probably not work the way you expect them to. In this post, I will describe what I have learned to make a fairly complex mapping repeatable with a count.
