How to put same character in multiple lines in android studio

I have a file named "CMakeLists.txt" in android studio. For example I have three lines in that - 

line a
line b
line c

I want to put $ in beginning of all lines like - 

$line a  
$line b  
$line c

Is there any keyboard shortcut or any other method so that I can make it without going to each line manually?

Use 'column selection mode' by hit Alt+Shift+Insert (or from menu Edit->Column Selection Mode) then select first column of all lines and insert '$' character.

Another way is to replace all words 'line' whit '$line' if word 'line' is used only in the start of all lines of your text file.

You can do this by selecting "line" keyword and press ctrl+F and replace it with "$line" or you can simply select all keyword and type "$line" it will replace all keyword as you want.
