use visual block mode (Ctrl–v) to select the column you want, and then hit I, type the characters you want, and then hit Esc
So in this case, you’d put your cursor on
A, hit Ctrl–v, go down toD, hit I and typeint(it’ll only appear on the first line while you type it), and then hit Esc at which point it’ll apply that insert to all visually selected portions.This works for anywhere in the document, beginning of line or end of line.
