Still related to the previous question, but switching mode with exe a doesn't seem to work, I still have to press the a button manuallyHere upon opening a newly  created a file, a template is in use and the cursor will be moved to the right position, then erase the tag, and switch to the appending (editing) mode.function LoadFile()  0r ~/.vim/skel/tmpl.%:e  exe normal /<CURSOR>\<Cr>  exe s#<CURSOR>##  exe aendfautocmd! BufNewFile * silent! call LoadFile()Any ideas?
Switching to edit mode in VIM rc?
vim
First, that would be :normal! a instead of :exe a; this is a normal-mode command.Second, for implementation reasons, that does not work; you have to use the special :startinsert! command.
