My first attempt didn't go so well. I chose viper level 5. 1) V did not put me into line visual mode, instead it attempted to "Find file in other window". 2) v did not put me into visual mode, instead it attempted to "Find file" 3) Neither C-c nor C-[ took me out of insert mode back to normal mode. There's no way I'm reaching for ESC each time. So, that's pretty much a deal breaker, unfortunately.
