You can copy and paste the last changes you made in the last insert mode without using y and p by pressing . (just dot).

Vim memorizes the keys you pressed and echoes them if you hit the dot key.

[edit] Comments

You can also repeat the last command you write by pressing dot. So, it makes it easier to repeat 2-3 character long commands.
