Not as far as I know (besides the obvious up, down, left right). I have this in my vimrc: " allow for emacs-like movement in insert mode noremap! <C-p> <up> noremap! <C-n> <down> noremap! <C-f> <right> noremap! <C-b> <left> noremap! <M-f> <C-right> noremap! <M-b> <C-left> You would of course change the above by substituting hjkl instead of bnpf. The abovementioned mappings would work in command-line mode as well, which was the original reason for me adding it.
