Description

This patch adds an insert mode to surf. While in the insert mode the hotkeys without a MODKEY cannot be used, which allows you to type into a text area/field without clashing with the hotkeys.

This patch modifies both the config.def.h and surf.c and removes MODKEY modifier from most of the hotkeys (e.g. 'MODKEY+j' is now just 'j'). If you modify the patch to only apply to surf.c you should at least have two hotkeys with a function called insert:

{ 0,                     GDK_KEY_i,      insert,     { .i = 1 } },
{ 0,                     GDK_KEY_Escape, insert,     { .i = 0 } },

Note that if the modifier is 0, GDK_KEY_Escape is the only key that you can use to get out of the insert mode.
