Insert in the right place

i, a, I, A, o, O: six ways into Insert.

i is not the only door into Insert. a inserts after the cursor, I at the start of the line, A at the end, o opens a new line below and O above. Picking the right door saves motions: to add a ; at the end of a line you don't need to travel there, A; does it from any column.
