Re: Insert Mode ctrl-o
Does ViEmu support ctrl-o in Insert mode? (This is to execute Normal mode commands quickly from Insert mode. Vi docs 24.10).

Re: Insert Mode ctrl-o
No it doesn't, sorry. I'm taking note of the request. For many reasons, several of them involving integration with VS / SQLServer / Word&Outlook, this is a pretty complex thing, so it's not likely to make an appearance soon.
On the other hand, most of the times I've seen i_Ctrl-O requested it was because someone was using vi/vim editing incorrectly (or at least in a less-than-optimal way), staying too long in insert mode. I apologize if that's not the case now, but maybe you could explain the use-case where you miss it and I'd try to understand it?

Re: Insert Mode ctrl-o
Thanks for the reply, Jon. I can imagine that implementing i_Ctrl-O wouldn't be easy, I was mostly checking to see if I had missed it in the ViEmu documentation.
I was trying to do something like <C-o>E instead of <Esc>Ei. So at least in this case, not having i_Ctrl-O is no big deal. Definitely not a high priority request.

Re: Insert Mode ctrl-o
Thanks for being so understanding Justin.
The reason I never want to do a <C-o>E is that I never stay in insert mode beyond the strictly necessary time. I hit Esc almost automatically after typing whatever I was trying to type. Thus, in your case, I'd go <Esc> and then think what next, then "Ei".
Out of thousands of ViEmu users, only three or four people have ever requested this feature, so I concluded hardly anyone uses it, which made it a non-priority

Recording a macro that leaves you in insert mode. You can't do this without <ctrl-o>q.

VsVim covers the basics. I look to ViEmu to take care of power users.
