I am a vi-user for two years and do love vi's many features, undo being
one of them, moving around without leaving main keyboard being the
other.  However, vi is not so fun if you need more.

Is it possible to make Emacs function partly like vi, like 'insert' mode
and 'noninsert' mode, undoing certain changes easily, moving cursors
just by pressing 'hjkl'?
