How to delete in vim everything in between the cursor and the end of the line while on insert mode

vim

While in normal mode I can delete all the characters after the cursor by typing d$. I'd like to achieve the same but in insert mode in the same way that you can delete things to the left of the cursor with Ctrl + W

There are many ways:

esc, shift+C
ctrl+O, shift+D
shift+end, del
shift+end, s

Don't be afraid of falling back to the normal mode even for a short instant.

`Delete` key doesn’t work on vim insert mode for deleting previously typed content

Just put this to your .vimrc :

set backspace=indent,eol,start

Changing cursor style based on mode in both zsh and vim

I think it's better to use precmd() instead of preexec():

# .zshrc

_fix_cursor() {
   echo -ne '\e[5 q'
}

precmd_functions+=(_fix_cursor)

This way:

you don't have to change .vimrc
cursor is fixed also when you create a new prompt without executing a command
you don't have to write echo -ne '\e[5 q' twice in your .zshrc.
