"use jj instead of the ESC key to return from insert mode to normal mode imap jj `^

"delete the character imap imap lxi forward and backward in insert mode

Where c represents the ctrl key, in insert mode, use ctrl+b to delete one character backward, and ctrl+d to delete one character forward.

Block pattern mapping

In general, we often increase or decrease the indentation of multi-line text. As mentioned in the previous article, this requirement can be achieved through block selection combined with the command line, or through macros.
