1. see :help w 2. see :help y :help :yank :help p :help P :help :put :help visual.txt 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.
