Is there a way to remain in -- (insert) --
mode in VIM to enter multiple normal mode commands while using INSERT mode.
I understand we can enable -- (insert) --
mode by using ctrl+o
, when we are using INSERT mode. But that will only allow us to enter only one normal mode command/shortcut. Then, it jumps back to basic INSERT mode.
We have shortcuts in INSERT mode to traverse through text, which can be found using :help ins-special-special
command in VIM.
Yet, I would like to know if there is a way to use normal mode shortcuts multiple times in the insert mode without having to toggle on and off.
Much appreciate any information on this.

to start insert mode again? What are you trying to do? Some kind of evim mode? – Matt<Esc>
