title: How to use VIM normal mode commands in INSERT mode (Traversing Text)
body: <p>Is there a way to remain in <code>-- (insert) --</code> mode in VIM to enter multiple normal mode commands while using INSERT mode.</p>
  
  <p>I understand we can enable <code>-- (insert) --</code> mode by using <code>ctrl+o</code>, when we are using INSERT mode. But that will only allow us to enter only one normal mode command/shortcut. Then, it jumps back to basic INSERT mode.</p>
  
  <p>We have shortcuts in INSERT mode to traverse through text, which can be found using <code>:help ins-special-special</code> command in VIM. </p>
  
  <p>Yet, I would like to know if there is a way to use normal mode shortcuts multiple times in the insert mode without having to toggle on and off.</p>
  
  <p>Much appreciate any information on this.</p>
