Of course the commands would only be 'vi-like' if you configured them that way, as it would be customizable what keys do what things. I DO like the idea of separating things this way... however I'm not sure I'd even want to turn off "Command" mode, lest an app I encountered needed the keys I had mapped, in which circumstance I'd probably just adjust they way my keys are mapped. And of course, for all flexibility, if we had this "Insert"/"Command" mode, AS WELL AS the emacs-style key combining, then we'd be absolutely set.
