How to switch back and forth between command mode and other modes in VIM without losing the typed command?
Recently I started using Neovim on my Ubuntu default terminal (gnome-terminal), and I had to look for the most used shortcuts so that I could become more productive in a short period of time.
My problem now is I don't know how to switch back and forth between command mode and other modes on vim without losing the typed words in the command mode.

Never mind I figured it out. It's pretty simple but, there might be a better answer for this.
I had to go back to command mode with shift + : then pressing up arrow to show the last typed command.
