Nope, that's repeat last pgf format. Repeat last char format is Esc c c.
I've used Shlomo Perets' UI customizations for FM for years and
recommend them highly (microtype.com). With that, you get toolbar
buttons for copying para tags, char tags, and conditions, and for
repeating the last para command or char command, among many others.
Also, shorter shortcuts, like F5 to repeat last char format.
