Are you trying to replicate vim operation or has there
been a 'fork' and bindings are vim-like?

IE: do you keep vim open and check it's operation against Leo?

I see in current commit message:
Added :r <return>filename<return> ...

this works as described, but being different than vim, it becomes
a confusing 3rd set of bindings to learn.
In vim it is spelled
: <optional whitespace> r  filename <return>

in vim
:r<return>
pastes a copy of the current file at the cursor

There seems to be a world view difference: in vim, ':' enters
command mode, in vim-mode, the ':' seems attached to a
command, not sure how this plays out.

If differences can't be helped, that's ok, and won't be a
problem for Leo users learning vim through Leo's bindings.
It is a problem for fingers trained by vim usage.

(you are being haunted by the ghost of 'I hope they complain') :=] )
