Repeating characters in VIM insert mode

by

If you are OK with leaving INSERT mode only once (at the end), this sequence works:

Ctrl+o 80i- Esc

  • Ctrl+o is used to issue normal commands without leaving INSERT mode,
  • 80 the repetition,
  • i to insert,
  • - the character you want to insert,
  • Esc to leave INSERT mode.

Another one without EVER leaving INSERT mode:

Ctrl+o :norm 8ia Return
