> As a regular vim user, only sometimes do I actually press i to insert

This is important and the same thing I came to post. I'm not by any means a power user, but even for me, just having i as the way to get into insert mode pretty much defeats the purpose of not having to use the keyboard, because you still need the keyboard to get the cursor where you want it.

The concept of a pedal system is cool, it would be nice to think about how it could be made more comprehensive to handle a bigger subset of mode changes.
