used to insert new text into the buffer.  They
can all be undone and repeated with the "." command.

							*a*
a			Append text after the cursor [count] times.  If the
			cursor is in the first column of an empty line Insert
			starts there.  But not when 'virtualedit' is set!

							*A*
A			Append text at the end of the line [count] times.
			For using "A" in Visual block mode see |v_b_A|.

<insert>	or				*i* *insert* *<Insert>*
i			Insert text before the cursor [count] times.
			When using CTRL-O in Insert mode |i_CTRL-O| the count
			is not supported.

							*I*
I			Insert text before the first non-blank in the line
			[count] times.
			When the 'H' flag is present in 'cpoptions' and the
			line only contains blanks, insert start just before
			the last blank.
			For using "I" in Visual block mode see |v_b_I|.

							*gI*
gI			Insert text in column 1 [count] times.

							*gi*
gi			Insert text in the same position as where Insert mode
			was stopped last time in the current buffer.
			This uses the |'^| mark.  It's different from "`^i"
			when the mark is past the end of the line.
			The position is corrected for inserted/deleted lines,
			but NOT for inserted/deleted characters.
			When the |:keepjumps| command modifier is used the |'^|
			mark won't be changed.

							*o*
o			Begin a new line below the cursor and insert text,
			repeat [count] times.

							*O*
O			Begin a new line above the cursor and insert text,
			repeat [count] times.

These commands are used to start inserting text.  You can end insert mode with
<Esc>.  See |mode-ins-repl| for the other special characters in Insert mode.
The effect of [count] takes place after Insert mode is exited.

The following |default-mappings| insert text, but stay in normal mode:

							*]<Space>*
]<Space>		Insert an empty line below the cursor without leaving
			Normal mode, repeat [count] times.

							*[<Space>*
[<Space>		Insert an empty line above the cursor without leaving
			Normal mode, repeat [count] times.

When 'autoindent' is on, the indent for a new line is obtained from the
previous line.  When 'smartindent' or 'cindent' is on, the indent for a line
is automatically adjusted for C programs.

'formatoptions' can be set to copy the comment leader when opening a new
line.

'textwidth' can be set to the maximum width for a line.  When a line becomes
too long when appending characters a line break is automatically inserted.

9. Ex insert commands					*inserting-ex*

							*:a* *:append*
:{range}a[ppend][!]	Insert several lines of text below the specified
			line.  If the {range} is missing, the text will be
			inserted after the current line.
			Adding [!] toggles 'autoindent' for the time this
			command is executed.

							*:i* *:in* *:insert*
:{range}i[nsert][!]	Insert several lines of text above the specified
			line.  If the {range} is missing, the text will be
			inserted before the current line.
			Adding [!] toggles 'autoindent' for the time this
			command is executed.

These two commands will keep on asking for lines, until you type a line
containing only a ".".  Watch out for lines starting with a backslash, see
|line-continuation|.

Text typed after a "|" command separator is used first. So the following
command in ex mode: >
	:a|one
	two
	.
	:visual
appends the following text, after the cursor line: >
	one
	two
<
NOTE: These commands cannot be used with |:global| or |:vglobal|.
":append" and ":insert" don't work properly in between ":if" and
":endif", ":for" and ":endfor", ":while" and ":endwhile".

							*:start* *:startinsert*
:star[tinsert][!]	Start Insert mode (or |Terminal-mode| in a |terminal|
			buffer) just after executing this command.
			Works like typing "i" in Normal mode.  When the ! is
			included it works like "A", append to the line.
			Otherwise insertion starts at the cursor position.
			Note that when using this command in a function or
			script,
