I think maybe the insert mode should not be saved at all. When I had
this problem, there was no way to work around it (re-starting the app,
re-loading the file) because the insert mode was saved with it. I think
that anyone who is an insert mode user knows about it and can press
the key. Otherwise it just causes problems.
