For everybody working as a programmer, this should be blatently obvious. Who hasn't experienced a non-programmer manager without a clue telling them what to do? I'll never ever work again for a manager who couldn't do my job,

I'm surprised that nobody brought up yet that pressing i is rarely the only way to enter insert mode. As a vim power user, I use a, o and c (after different types of selecting some part of existing text) at least as often. That would m
