Starting with Vim 7.4.754 one can use g Ctrl-a, see :help v_g_CTRL-A
Go to line #4, use Ctrl-v to blockwise select the first character, go down 4 lines, press Shift i, enter 0
(this is 0, followed by Space) and Esc to exit insert mode.
Now use gv to re-select the previously selected area. Press g Ctrl-a to create a sequence.
I start with a 0
here, so I can re-select by gv. If you start with a 1
, you need to re-select by hand while omitting the first 1
.
Use 2g Ctrl-a to use a step count of 2.
