There seems to be a combination of keystrokes that I accidentally hit from time to time that puts me into Vi mode.

From google; To quit the vi editor without saving any changes you've made: If you are currently in insert or append mode, press Esc.Press : (colon). The cursor should reappear at the lower left corner of the screen beside a colon prompt.
