使用多光标在多行的不同列中插入文本

Question

I am using VS Code (with vim plugin), how would I insert text after the first word of each sentence on multiple lines? I would like to know how to do this strictly with multi-cursor, not macros, search/replace, etc.

I would like to turn this:

Hi how are you?
Ahoy how are you?
Howdy how are you?

into this:

Hi, how are you?
Ahoy, how are you?
Howdy, how are you?

Use a single command

:%norm ea,

: ................... command mode
% ................... whole file
norm  ............... normal mode
e  .................. end of a word
a  .................. append charactere

Answer 2

The easiest is to select your lines with Selection/Column Selection Mode enabled. Select the first column (there are other ways to get a cursor at the beginning of each of your selected lines - such as

(1) Select all your lines

(2) Shift + Alt + I to put a cursor at the end of each line

(3) Home to move all those to the beginning

Then you'll need to bind this command

to some keybinding. Trigger that keybinding and type your , .
