My question is, what keystroke will elicit

?
AFAIK there is no such mode. Have you seen it? Or do you think
there should be some such mode?
Yes, I have seen it, and can reproduce it. I never thought I could find
a simple test case to illustrate it until now:
fun! InsVis()
exe "normal! \<C-w>wv"
return ""
endfun
Split open 2 different files. In one file window, from Normal mode, type
i<C-r>=InsVis()<CR>
The "v" can be replaced with "V" to produce "-- INSERT VISUAL LINE --",
etc.
Eric, this is not the same as typing
<C-o><C-v>
that produces
-- (insert) VISUAL BLOCK --
The -- INSERT VISUAL -- mode is quite a wacky mode. I think it's a
corner case that could possibly happen.. something that only developers
would be aware of.
