Use ':normal' with the exclamation point, and create a new mapping.

Because normal-mode commands especially can be concatenated arbitrarily
many times, this is not feasible. If 'vip' gets a name other than the name
it already has ("vip"), what will be the name for "vipp"? For "vippp"?
For "vippp"? For "vipgpgpggipp"?
Anyway, the fact that in the example there is "normal", that tells you that
'vip' is a normal mode command. So do ":h v". Then do ":h ip".
