insert mode action

mentioned in #46

a way to perform complicated action in insert mode & update the cursors

I feel the missing part is left/right movement in insert mode, which is not recorded in dot register (imo a flaw in nvim itself).

You can fix this by remapping left/right movement keys to avoid making a new undo sequence (this is what <C-g>U does):

inoremap <Left>  <C-g>U<Left>
inoremap <Right> <C-g>U<Right>

Wow, this works, thanks! (vertical movement still not work, but that's very uncommon)

Thanks for this bew.

I've made this a default mapping. It is only mapped if nothing is already mapped to <left>... or <right>... in insert mode.
