Hello,
It is possible to do a visual block insert into multiple lines, through
<C-v>, select a column spanning the lines you want to edit, then
pressing 'I'. I use this fairly often, but it doesn't seem to work with
deletion.
Example being:<C-v>jjI<Del><Del><Esc>
Which doesn't delete two characters from each line.
Is there any way to get this working with deletes?
Sure, just don't use I:
<C-v>jjlld
Of course, not sure why I was over-complicating things here.
I am also curious if it is possible to do a selection that skips lines
so that I could, say, insert the letter 'a' at the beginning of lines
10-15, 18 and 20.
Nope.
But there plugins. Here's a couple, there are probably more:

https://github.com/felixr/vim-multiedit
Will give these a shot, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Marc
