Creme - "uma configuração moderna do editor de texto Vim"
A single editing mode. (Cream does not use Vim's modal editing unless turned on from the Preferences menu.)
How can I start command mode for the occasional traditional Vim :command?
Ctrl+L switches to normal mode along with it's alternative Ctrl+\,Ctrl+N.
Ctrl+B switches to normal mode for only a single command.
You can also select Expert Mode from the Settings menu to toggle between Normal and Insert mode with the Esc key.
