I still don't get why we need an INSERT mode at all.  I would prefer
that all keys are passed to the input field if and only if the cursor in
that field is visible/blinking.  Now you can be in the INSERT mode
without a blinking cursor and you can have a blinking cursor without
being in INSERT mode.  This makes no sense to me, I would've already
changed it if I knew how.
