Vim: how to enter insert-anywhere/canvas mode?

问题

How can you put vim in an insert mode where the entire screen is effectively whitespace i.e. you can type anywhere?

I know it's possible, I just cannot remember the command, unfortunately!

This allows you to draw diagrams and whatnot easily, I hope this rings a bell?
