I am trying to use visual block mode to append a , to the end of root_dir, where [] is the cursor.

lspconfig.html.setup{
  root_dir = root_di[r]
}
lspconfig.cssls.setup{
  root_dir = root_dir
}

I tried to enter visual block mode, go down until I am on another root_dir and append comma.

<c-v> 3j A ,

But then it will become this:

lspconfig.html.setup{
  root_dir = root_dir,
}                    ,
lspconfig.cssls.setup,{
  root_dir = root_dir,
}

Is it possible to achieve what I want with visual block mode? I know I can use search and replace but I want to know if there is some other alternatives.

    No, Visual Block mode will not work for that, you can't use A or I from Visual Block to affect only a few of the lines... You should use a macro or similar to make these edits if you have too many to do manually. For example, to add a comma to every line with a root_dir I'd use :g/root_dir/norm A, which will do the job. :s with a pattern matching $ (end of the line) to add the comma there also an option.

    :g/root_dir/norm A is really smart. Thanks
