When I worked for an IBM facility for a while, I was quite amused by the
"screen editor" I used.  I won't comment here on the whole command/input mode
difference.  I will say that when you moved the cursor to a particular column
and hit ANY key (other than the one moving the cursor out of the column) there
was no recourse but cycling power on terminal.  Now THAT is good, user friendly
programming!  The lightning bolt and little man icons were neat, too!
