Vim - how to start inserting at the end of the file in one step

Question

Is there a single shortcut to start inserting in the new line at end of the file?

I\'m aware of G + o combo.

Answer 1

Adding the following into ~/.vimrc will create one for you:

:nmap ^A Go

To type the "^A" first press Ctrl-V, then press Ctrl-A. You can then use Ctrl-A to append at the end of the file when not in insert or visual mode.
