Actually, one wouldn't expect that once one understands where the cursor is positioned in normal mode vs. insert mode. > The reason for this is when the InsertEnter auto command triggers, > there is also a cursor movement to the left (h), without me wanting > this. This is standard Vim behavior and has nothing to do with your autocmd. If you want the cursor to stay put while you enter/leave insert mode without doing anything else, you need to use a<Esc>. There's some more explanation and, if you still want to change it, some ideas of how to work around it on the wiki[0].
