In Sublime Text 2, if I press escape the page goes into COMMAND mode, which seems to take text input as commands, rather than actually typing the text.

Another oddity is the VISUAL mode, and I have no idea what it does besides it seems to highlight text.

I think they came installed with the theme that I got, ‘soda’, maybe. Anyway, I searched and found out you can turn off COMMAND mode by pressing ‘i’.

Regardless, both of these modes are extremely annoying, how do I get rid of them?

    By default, sublime should ignore the vintage mode package. Right down the bottom of your default settings file change

    "ignored_packages": []
    

    to

    "ignored_packages": ["Vintage"]
    

    See: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/vintage.html

    Note: In this case you should be able to edit the sublime default but normally you would edit your user preference file.
