Vim multiline editing like in sublimetext?

Question

I started to use gvim, and I can\'t quite understand how the multiline edit works in gvim.

For example:

Original text:

asd asd asd asd asd;
asd a         


        

Answer 1

Ctrl-v ................ start visual block selection
6j .................... go down 6 lines
I" .................... inserts " at the beginning
 ............ finishes start
2fdl. ................. second 'd' l (goes right) . (repeats insertion)
