gvim - How to temporarily exit insert mode and enter normal mode in vim?

Question

Just like the title, sometimes when I finish typing the brackets, I need to move the cursor. If I use arrows to move it, it will be farther away from my hand, which is a bit troublesome. But if I press Esc first, I can return to the normal mode. If so, there are many buttons to press. Is there a button that is in normal mode when pressed and in insert mode when raised?

Is there any?

Or is there a way to quickly switch?

Answer 1

CTRL+O can temporarily enter normal mode, and it will automatically return to insert mode after pressing a command. I don't know if it meets your requirements.

Answer 2

A funny thing I saw a long time ago:

Aleksandr Levchuk这位老兄可以称得上是Vim文本编辑器的超级粉丝。
有意思的是，他为了改善Vim的文本编辑速度，竟亲自动手为Vim制作了
脚踏板离合器。当踩下踏板时，就会让Vim进入插入模式（效果如按i一
样）；如果松开踏板，则会回到Vim的正常模式（就像按了ESC键）。

Answer 3

Unfortunately, this is the usage pattern of Vim, just get used to it. Moreover, after pressing Esc回到Normal mode后移动光标有很多命令可以选择，没必要一个一个h,j,k,l地连着按，最简单的，比如15h会回移15个字符，^w会删掉上次个单词，b前移一个单词，等等太多了。你习惯用这些命令后，就会发现按Esc to return to Normal Mode, moving the cursor is much more efficient than moving up, down, left, and right again and again in Insert Mode.

Answer 4

Add these commands under the configuration file:
inoremap <C-h> <Left>
inoremap <C-j> <Down>
inoremap <C-k>
inoremap <C- l> <Right>

That’s it, but it also sacrifices some default functions

Answer 5

Don’t you think it’s emacs? Press ctrl to change the mode~
It is recommended to map ctrl-f and ctrl-b to move left and right, ctrl-c to <Esc>, it’s okay if you don’t need i_ctrl-c,
Insert You can think about the ctrl key combination in mode.
There are useful plug-ins for bracket completion, such as delimitMate, etc.
