Leave evil insert state when entering a read-only mode - #717
Merged

Conversation
Entering copy or Emacs mode from evil insert state left insert state active. Insert state binds no printable keys, so j, k and other motions hit the read-only fast-exit map, leaving copy mode and typing the letter into the terminal. ghostel-readonly-enter-hook runs after entering copy or Emacs mode. evil-ghostel uses it to switch insert state to normal state, which covers every entry path: C-c C-t, Emacs mode, prompt and link jumps, mouse selection, and search / minibuffer landings. Emacs state keeps the fast exit. The evil read-only elate suite covers C-c C-t and isearch from insert state. The word-boundaries suite, documented but never added, starts each double-click in insert state and checks that the resulting visual selection copies exactly the selected text. Supersedes #670.
