You can use Shift-F5 (which is known to have no default binding in Vim,
so that one is "safe"), Ctrl-Up (which probably does have a default
binding), Alt-d (which is known to be seen by Vim as synonymous with รค
aka a-umlaut, so it's probably a bad choice in Insert mode if you
occasionally type German text), etc.
Best regards,
Tony.
