Hi
To find out what something does in insert mode, prepend it with i_
ie:
:help i_CTRL-O
(On another note, it sounds like you are spending too much time in
insert mode, remember: insert mode is just for entering text, and when
you are done press <esc>. The "vim"-way of doing what you want to do,
is to do as you already described it, just press o. Because normally,
you should be in "normal" mode and not insert mode)
Best regards
