Correct for vi/vim, but not ed which has no real concept of a
characterwise "insert mode". Rather, "insert mode" is where you enter
one line at a time (using whatever your system's line-input function
does for cursor display; with behavior possibly modified if you use
`rlwrap`) until you finish entering your text by putting a lone
period on a line.
