there is something I often try to do in Vim and either I'm not using the right method or it is not possible without a plugin:
Appending text to several lines at the same time in visual block selection.
For exemple:
[1]
[2]
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
// I want to select all the numbers in a visual block, press 'a' then append 0
// And get this ->
[10]
[20]
[30]
[40]
[50]
[60]
To get around this issue right now I would go to the closest identical char I can find, press 's'
and then append the deleted char + the char I want to add. Or use a macro.
If you know how to do this properly or if you can link me to a plugin that allows
[ visual block -> 'a' ]
let me know!

You are almost there, it's A
, not a
.
You can also use I
to prepend, see :help blockwise-operators
.
