#### 1.3.3 Insert Mode

The key bindings in this mode is the same as in the emacs mode except for the following 4 keys. So, you can move around in the buffer and change its content while you are in insert mode.

`ESC`

  This key will take you back to vi mode.

`C-h`

  Delete previous character.

`C-w`

  Delete previous word.

`C-z`

  Typing this key has the same effect as typing `ESC` in emacs mode. Thus typing `C-z x` in insert mode will have the same effect as typing `ESC x` in emacs mode.
