In VIM, putting 'set insertmode' in your .vimrc file makes it start in input
mode. You can then use commands by preceding them with ^O. For example,
typing ^Odd in input mode deletes the current line.
This basically turns VIM into a modeless editor, if that's really what you
want. ;-)

Yup, that would do it.
