What do you mean by this? In viper and emacs mode, commmands are
interpreted differently, for example, you won't get c mode and Latex
mode with viper. So some functionality of emacs won't work unless you
switch from vi mode to emacs mode.

: Viper is not just a compromise or a crutch.  There is no need to "move
: to emacs mode" to get all the capabilities provided by emacs.
