However, the advantage of using a keymap (or making your own, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_make_a_keymap ) is that you can
switch between the two sets of keybindings (those from the keymap and
the other ones) at the touch of a key (normally Ctrl-^ but you can of
course remap it if that key is not easily accessible, or not available
at all, on the keyboard layout you use).
