    I made a plugin to do this too! https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

    I'd never heard of OP's, I'm sure we can work together to share ideas.

    Perhaps https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode can help. Check it out, it came up when I had posted this on Hacker News last year.

    I actually maintain a plugin that tries to permanently keep (N)vim in Insert mode. https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode We've got over a 100 stars, so it's got some appeal.

    There's also this plugin that makes Vim's keybindings default to a traditional behaviour: https://github.com/tombh/novim-mode

    I'm in the curiously rare position of being a long time Neo/vim user who doesn't use its modal features. Namely I have all my keybindings setup like a "normal" editor, CTRL+S to save etc.

    I say it's curious because I've always been surprised that Neo/vim is mainly celebrated as "that modal editor". Whereas for me I celebrate it as the most feature-packed and lightweight terminal editor. Neo/vim is sooo much more than merely its modal editing.

    With this new release of Neovim maybe there's renewed interest in what Vim is beyond the stereotypes. I wrote a plugin a few years ago that intelligently disables Neo/vim's NORMAL mode [1]. It always seemed such an obvious idea when the majority of editors have their own plugins to intelligently enable Vim-style modality.
