So for a long time I've had a bad habit of going to the end of a line, hitting the i key and then hitting the right arrow to insert after that last character. However, this is extremely inefficient and impossible to do with hjkl.
What's a better way to insert at the VERY end of the line?

Therefore, the key sequence would from command mode, A to get into insert mode at end of line, <space> to insert a space, then Ctrl-v to paste. Alternatively, while in insert mode, use the mouse to put the cursor at the end of a line, <space> then Ctrl-v .
On a character in the first line, press Ctrl-V (or Ctrl-Q if Ctrl-V is paste). Press jj to extend the visual block over three lines. Press $ to extend the visual block to the end of each line.
In a visual block, you can insert text in each line before the selection with I , and you can append text in each line after the selection with A . If you use $ to convert the visual selection to select to the end of line, then A will append text to the end of each line in the visual block.
To type the "^A" first press Ctrl-V, then press Ctrl-A. You can then use Ctrl-A to append at the end of the file when not in insert or visual mode.
Use A command instead of i. The command appends text at the end of the line. See :help A.
In normal mode press A (uppercase). Vim will be switched to insert mode, and the cursor will be moved to the end of the current line ready for input.
