I think it's not fair to the other editors to claim that you only need
3 keystrokes in vi, you often have to change the modes in your
session, that represents only in the best case.

We would need some modifier keys as well and this would result in at
least 7 keystrokes unfortunately.

I can't imagine this.  But I've another idea assuming you wan't to
have 59 additional lines with some text!

Instead of copying the text (to the kill ring) mark it with C-x . as a
fill prefix, place the cursor to a line beginning at your choosing and
type M-5 9 C-o.  Here we are with 5 keystrokes.

Do you intend to modify the 59 fold copied text afterwards?
