title: Automating insert befores in VIM
body: <p>I would like to quickly modify the document</p>
  
  <pre><code>00
  01
  10
  11
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to look like</p>
  
  <pre><code>000
  001
  010
  011
  100
  101
  110
  111
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Of course I can do it brute force (as shown above) but I would like to do it quickly as I find I am doing a lot of these. My approach so far has been to yank and paste 4Y 4j 4P</p>
  
  <pre><code>00
  01
  10
  11
  00
  01
  10
  11
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then is there a command do insert 0's before each line 4 times? I know it's something like 4, 0, i, 0, esc ~~ I want that to be 4 rounds of 0 (move to left of line), insert mode, insert 0, reinter command mode.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
