Hi, Junia.
I think I fixed the bugs in Stefan's version of mvi-command-mode. Now, it is working flawlessly. Since Stefan wants to provide mvi-command-mode only, there is no need to make both commands global. By the way, I guess I know what Stefan wanted with mvi-normal-mode: He wanted the normal emacs mode back, what makes a lot of sense. I wrote a minor mvi-emacs-mode that exit from mvi-insert-mode, mvi-command-mode, and mvi-emacs-mode itself. You should save the file in mvi-command-mode.el and add the following line to your .emacs file:
(require 'mvi-command-mode)
To enter command mode, you should use
M-x mvi-command-mode
from anywhere in emacs (since the command mode is global).
