Make IdeaVim use IDE shortcuts in insert mode but VIM key map in normal mode

I'm new to vim and still learning it but i found the shortcuts in IntelliJ are quite easy to use.

Eg: Ctrl + b for Go to declaration, Ctrl + q Show doc

I often check docs while I'm writing code and I'd like to keep the shortcuts available in insert mode(since vim key map seems mostly work with normal mode).

I read online and saw methods about adding custom key mapping for vim. Besides that, Is there anyway that I can keep all IDE shortcuts in insert mode?

Currently each shortcut like Ctrl+B is handled by either the Vim emulation or the IDE. See the docs on how to choose the handler for a shortcut.

Feel free to file a feature request here for handling Vim commands only the normal mode.
