Ctrl-[ " exits insert mode and go to normal mode

I wonder if this is the reason the Kinesis-2 puts the [key in the upper right.

I'll just tell myself that's why to help me cope.

Ctrl-o 100ihello
Ctrl-o 10Ahello

These didn't work.

Also, the commands you posted were not able to pull content directly from theregister please help.

Make sure you are running it from insert mode and make have no other plugin / settingblocking it. I tested it by running my vim without plugin, and it works (v8.2).
repeat

Ctrl-r also works fine on my machine when I run vim without plugin. My suspicion is that you may have a plugin/ setting that overwrites Ctrl-r commands.

Thanks Rahul! Appreciate it :)

I used gifox (gifox.io/). It's a paid app, but it is worth it. Very convenient. I use it almost every day!
