Description
Hello!
When I'm switching tabs with J/K it will stop working on any tabs that are on insertMode. Is it possible to have the current mode be global across all tabs instead of tab-specific?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start by tracing how insertMode and normalMode are stored and how J/K tab switching reads the current mode. Verify the behavior across multiple tabs, then make the mode consistent across tabs so switching with J/K remains available; done means the selected mode is shared rather than tab-specific.
