How to make this plugin in insert mode at the start?

This is not really a documented feature of Vim, and it really runs counter to Vim's philosophy.

guillermooo has said that, for the most part, deviations from standard Vim won't be included as default settings. Certainly there's an argument that goes: "Sublime Text isn't VIM" but the counter argument isn't, "We should customize it for what we want." Rather, it is: "Then why are you using Vintageous?" The very purpose of this package is to emulate Vim and its philosophy. Before spending development time on adding divergent features and settings, a case should be made about their popularity - not whether or not they are better. I personally use Vintageous to get the Vim experience in a modern text editor. Again, as per guillermooo:

This doesn't guarantee that they will ever make it into Vintageous (as far as my own time is concerned; a PR would be a different story), but it would help me understand why overriding Vim's defaults would be a good idea in some cases.
