yep.. here's a workaround: use i_CTRL-O
to jump out of insert mode for one command.
so opening a new line below or above the current line
becomes "CTRL-O o" or "CTRL-O O", respectively.
i use CTRL-O in mappings, eg
to use CTRL-A in insert mode
to jump to the beginning of the line
(actually, to the first non-whitespace):
imap <c-a> <c-o>I
and i also use it for writing
the current buffer with ",,":
" 2007-05-09
" a quick way to save:
map :w<cr>
imap <c-o>:w<cr>
enjoy :)
