3. By selecting a rectangular block of text with Ctrl-V (in Normal
mode) then moving the cursor, I (that's capital i) will repeat the
text you insert (anything, including hard tabs) in front of the block
at every line. Similarly with A (append) to insert after every line of
the block.
...and BTW, a good way to get acquainted with Vim is to run the
vimtutor program.
