Key bindings

State transitions

Key Binding    |       From         |          To

-------------------|:------------------:|:-------------------------: e | expand-region | iedit ESC | iedit | normal C-g | iedit | normal ESC | iedit-insert | iedit C-g | iedit-insert | normal

To sum-up, in iedit-insert state you have to press ESC twice to go back to the normal state. You can also at any time press C-g to return to normal state.

Note: evil commands which switch to insert state will switch in iedit-insert state.

In iedit state

iedit state inherits from normal state, the following key bindings are specific to iedit state.
