According to the following vim.wikia post you should be able to use
Ctrl-O but I cannot seem to make it work.

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Use_Ctrl-O_instead_of_Esc_in_insert_mode_mappings

In my testing I have a vim buffer with the following text in it:

from time import sleep
f = open("foo.txt", "w")
for i in range(0,10):
print i
f.write(str(i))
sleep(.1)
f.close()

If I run the command ':!python %' (without the quotes, I never know if
I really need to clarify that or not!) the python snippet runs like
I'd expect to and I get the file foo.txt. However, when I define
':inoremap <F6> <C-o>!python %<CR>' and attempt to use it nothing
seems to happen. Is inoremap not meant to work with external (!)
commands? Can anyone illuminate me? I have not extensively RTFM by the
way.

Cheers,

Ethan Alan
