Select and Insert for each symbol in VIM or Emacs
Im trying to do this im VIM but im open for emacs too.
Lets say I got a block of code like this.
test.butter0.(A, b)
test.butter1.(A, b)
test.butter2.(A, b)
test.butter3.(A, b)
test.butter4.(A, b)
test.butter5.(A, b)
And now I press Control V and I select all of the "." Symbols. Now I want to press Colon ":" and insert colon for each individual "." symbol.
So select and then press a Key and insert that key in each place of the selected symbol or letter. Also would be awesome if I can also copy one symbol or string from my file and then select all period or @ sings or all numbers or any vertical column of symbols and paste it but replace it for each symbol selected.
like this:
test:butter0.(A, b)
test:butter1.(A, b)
test:butter2.(A, b)
test:butter3.(A, b)
test:butter4.(A, b)
test:butter5.(A, b)
or
test.butter@.(A, b)
test.butter@.(A, b)
test.butter@.(A, b)
test.butter@.(A, b)
test.butter@.(A, b)
test.butter@.(A, b)
Is that possible? and if yes how? If it's not possible, how hard would it be to write a Select+insert for each symbol extension?

You can just press "r:" (no quotes).
It will replace the whole block with the colon character.

%s/./:/ works fine man. Is it possible to bind that to let's say: CTR + double V when pasting? so that I can select the entire column of periods with Command+V, then pressing control and twice V to paste it in for each selected character.
