To append to the end of the current line, hit "A" -- "_A_ppend to the end of the line". To insert characters *after* the cursor point, use "a" instead of "A". Likewise, you use "i" to insert *before* the cursor point, and use "I" to insert at the start of the line. -- I guess that hjkl aren't the only movement commands to know.
