What are use cases of insert mode in Vimium and where is it documented?

Question

I love Vimium and finally started to look into more of its features, but I just wasn't able to find anything on how it can be useful at all. For example, Visual mode is nicely documented in the Wiki but all I could find about insert mode so far is how to enter and exit it. Tried random keys I know from using Vim but none seemed to have effect.

Answer 1

The use case of insert mode (entered while pressing i) is documented in the README:

> i     enter insert mode -- all commands will be ignored until you hit Esc to exit

This may be useful to temporarily disable keybinds so it does not conflict with webpages implementing their owns.
