the <return> key in Vim performs a move down one line maintaining the same column (as close as possible). I never use it. Instead, I use the standard Vi/Vim key mapping of the 'h','j','k','l' keys to move left, down, up, and right.
'i' inserts before the current character 'I' enters insert mode at the beginning of the current "word". 'a' enters insert mode after the current character 'A' enters insert mode at the end of the current "word". 'o' opens a new line below the current line and enters insert mode 'O' opens a new line above the current line and enters insert mode. Note: The i,I,a,A key descriptions make more sense when you consider that Vi (and Vim) have the concept of a current character when in Command mode. That is, the entire character is highlighted instead of a thin vertical line between characters. Also, Vi/Vim's Insert mode can be exited by pressing the <Esc> key and also the Ctrl-[ key (which I most often use as I don't have to move my fingers from the home position).
