I agree that using h/j/k/l is most efficient and its hard to follow them in insert mode. But, if you are aware of the command CTRL-O in insert mode that will get you to a temporary-normal mode, you can execute one normal mode command, after which you will be taken back to insert mode. Once you are in normal mode, you could use [count] w/b/W/B commands, instead of h/j/k/l, if that is appropriate.

Hi folks! AFAIK usage of arrow keys in vim should be avoided at all costs since h/j/k/l allows one to be more efficient in command mode. But how about insert mode? Should one avoid using arrow keys in insert mode as well and switch to command mode and then back to insert mode instead? -- Best regards, Pavel
