Part of the problem is that you defined the :map commands with <>
notation before setting 'nocp'. From another post on this thread, I see
that you want to try this with gvim, not terminal vim. So please try
$ gvim -u NONE
:set nocp
:set laststatus=2 stl=%{&imd}
:inoremap <ESC> <ESC>:set imd<CR>
:nnoremap i :set noimd<CR>i
and *then* try going from Normal mode to Insert mode and back with i and
<Esc>. The status line should show the current value of the 'imdisable'
option.
If the 0 or 1 in the status line is too terse, you could be a
little fancier. For example,
:set laststatus=2 stl=%{&imd?'IM\ disabled':'IM\ enabled'}
