Hi, at our Meetup today, a user asked how to set up Vim to run in
"Insert" mode from the get-go. The easiest way is to turn on the
'insertmode' setting (Boolean, default off).
:h insertmode
>From Normal mode, "colon" to get to "Ex" mode (also known as 'Command'
mode or' Last-line' mode), then:
:set nocompatible
:set insertmode
Check settings with:
:set compatible?
:set insertmode?
Toggle 'insertmode' setting with:
:set insertmode!
These lines can be added to your .vimrc file. For further information,
see StackOverflow below, as well as Steve Losh's excellent site:
