Just as an aside, this is about the worst quote you could pull, as
Vim *doesn't* support open mode. ;-)
:help :open
"""
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave
Ex mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the
whole screen instead of only one line.
"""
The only time I've needed/wanted open mode was when running it in an
obscure Dos environment with a virtual keyboard that obscured most
of the screen, and Vim's terminal handling expected too much of the
underlying ANSI drivers.
