I have written a lot of code that actually knows when Vim switches from normal to visual to insert mode. For example being in normal mode when I press letters: a, A, i, I, s, S, c, C and R it should exit the normal mode and enter into insert mode. This is OK for most of the times, but there is also operator-pending mode. Like when pressing: daw so when d is pressed operator-pending-mode appears when a in da command is pressed then vim is still in operator-pending-mode but when movement part of the command is pressed like w in daw command then operator-pending-mode is exited and it gets into normal mode again.

May I suggest an alternate approach?

You can set up a keymap, or language mappings, in Vim that you can toggle on and off with CTRL-^, and they only affect insert mode (and command-line mode, and replace mode, and search) but not normal or visual modes.
