Insert Mode

iaEsc

There are two everyday ways to start typing. The only difference is where the text goes.

iinsert before the cursor
aappend after the cursor
Escgo back to normal mode

Pick whichever one puts the cursor in the right spot without moving first.

  2. Finish each round in normal mode (press Esc).
