Depending on your environment, Vim *should* be able to discern
between alt+i and alt+I (i.e., alt+shift+i).

A quick test is to go into insert mode, hit control+V and then type
both key-pairs (alt+i and alt+shift+i) to see what is entered. You
may either get "^[i"/"^[I" or some other value. Either way, it
should show you what Vim thinks you're typing.

It's also possible that, because those characters can also map to
certain letters (such as é and É) depending on your file-encoding,
you might have some other mapping that is interfering with it.
