How to exit insert mode using autocommand upon losing focus?
Currently, I am using the following command as suggested by Auto save files when focus is lost.
autocmd FocusLost * wall!
However, I cannot apply <ESC> trailing the wall!. Vim will complain about it and I partially enter normal mode. (The message-box actually takes the focus of cursor.)
Any suggestion on how to realize the action of: "auto-save + return to normal mode", upon "losing focus"?
Thank you!
All the best,
