    "most useful" or "favorite" type questions tend to be too vague for this site. I'd suggest revising your question to be more specific, e.g. "what's the fastest way to get to the end of the line in insert mode?". Also, I think you meant esc A (A = shift a), not esc ctrl a.

  • With the default key bindings, ctrl+A increments rather than appends; did you mean shift+A instead? Commented Oct 23, 2025 at 23:16
  • Vim allows insertions to be interrupted by cursor movement keys, after which insertion is immediately resumed, so I suggest simply: :imap ^E <End> and :nmap ^E A Commented Oct 23, 2025 at 23:26
